This is a particularly exciting time for our company because we’re in numerous customer trials with the aim to bring quantum-dot
displays to store shelves, something we should be able to make happen in short order given our exclusive licensing agreement with
the Dow Chemical Company.

"We're delighted by the pace of progress towards the commercialisation of our cadmium-free quantum dot technology in the display market. Our worldwide licensing partner Dow expects to begin production in mid-2015 at the world's first large-scale production plant for cadmium-free quantum dots. LG Electronics is moving closer to the commercial launch of the LG Ultra HD ColourPrime TV range unveiled earlier this year, which will mark the first consumer electronics products to incorporate Nanoco technology.

......the deep color red qds are for Sept 2015,.....temp range -40 to 50 C which is -4- to 122 F yes that sounds like a range
for organics, but maybe not so much for tech which requires tolerance 150C and above. I like to think of QDX tm which has a tolerance
of 260 C, (500 F). Again could the difference in heat tolerance and the perception thereof be having an impact on Nanoco's sp?
Nanoco making “very significant progress” in display industry, investors reiterate ‘strong buy’ rating
By Wan Fan | July 31, 2015 07:58 GMT | London/Europe
Published on Thursday, the progress report said that Nanoco was making “significant progress” in the display industry. The company also confirmed that it supplies 11 displays OEMs with its quantum dots for large screen televisions and tablets. It works with LG, the multinational electronics company, and other firms in South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan and the US.
Nanoco’s stock price is still recovering from the news that US rival, Nanosys, entered an agreement with Samsung, the global
electronics firm. Investors were particularly concerned that the Nanosys-Samsung deal would include patents for cadmium-free quantum dots, Nanoco’s area of expertise.

......."making significant progress" on July 31, yet announce a new Division w/Deep Red CFQD on July 16th w/temp specs of
-40 to 50 C (-40 to 122 deg F) ???
Nanoco Forms New Lighting Division to Answer Growing Demand for Cadmium-Free Quantum Dot Innovations
The new division is part of the company’s business expansion strategy to accelerate commercialization and further development in
its four key target markets – electronic display, LED lighting, biological imaging and solar power
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/16/ma-...SW20150716
......obviously they intend to use the Deep-Red CFQD® for their Displays too, unless they're working on "making significant progress"
Hence, (w/a peak temp of less than 150 C) the question wrt Nanoco's sp.
Of course I doubt it helped w/Nanoco taking so long to acknowledge that another could produce CFQDs and then claim,
"Nanoco’s stock price is still recovering from the news that US rival, Nanosys, entered an agreement with Samsung, the global
electronics firm. Investors were particularly concerned that the Nanosys-Samsung deal would include patents for cadmium-free quantum dots, Nanoco’s area of expertise." for the reason of their sp drop, (that doesn't even take into account QMC ability and QDX tm tolerance"
So yes I think Sunny had a salient point and yes I think my question was valid.
Kudos to Nanoco for applying their Deep-Color Red CFQD to growing things enhancing sh value.
I included some info on QDV and Nanosys for reference

QD Vision strives to design and ship products that are compliant with international chemical and environmental regulations. As a maker of optical components that contain novel chemicals, we proactively research and address certain regulations that are of particular relevance to our products or our customers’ products. For example, our display and lighting component products are compliant with TSCA in the US, RoHS and REACH in the EU, and similar regulations of which we are aware in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China. Our products can also be disposed of without special requirements in all of the mentioned jurisdictions.
QD Vision is designing its materials and technology solutions to provide for a safer and greener environment. In recognition of its efforts to promote a clean environment, QD Vision in 2009 was an AlwaysOn Going Green 50 winner and was named the Emerging Clean Energy Company of the Year by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Council.

8. Does Color IQ contain Cadmium?
Yes, Color IQ contains an extremely small quantity of the element Cadmium. The Cadmium is securely sealed within a hardened resin and encased in glass inside the body of the television. Customers therefore do not have potential exposure to cadmium.
9. How much Cadmium is in my TV?
Color IQ contains about a milligram (1/1000th of a gram) quantities of Cadmium. This is less than one part per million (<1 ppm) Cadmium in your TV set. To put this in perspective, the WHO (World Health Organization) considers it safe to eat the quantity of Cadmium in your TV every month. Please don’t do this, but you get the idea. The amount is very tiny.

Near the backlight of a liquid-crystal display (LCD), for example, temperatures can be around 100 °C. At this temperature, the dots lose efficiency and up to half of their brightness, says QD Vision co-founder and chief technology officer Seth Coe-Sullivan. He says that the company spent a long time tuning the chemistry of its quantum dots to make them stable at higher temperatures.
