QDots & Nitto-Denko...odds-&-ends... ...nothing e

...nothing earthshaking, just some odds & ends while trying to put the pieces together:
** 9. 9 PHOSPHOR SHEETS • Various processes have been developed by different companies to manufacture phosphor sheets. In this process, a phosphor material is embedded in a silicone binder and the mix is laminated or molded into a thin sheet. Typical thickness varies from XXX to XXX µm. Just like ceramic preforms, phosphor sheets allows for individual chromaticity testing and sorting and precise matching with various LED die bins. • Depending on the mode of application (conformal or preform), full curing is performed at the sheet level or after binding with the chips. • Thickness control and uniform dispersion of the phosphor particles are critical in controlling color uniformity. • Light scattering particles can be added in order to further improve color uniformity Phosphor mixing + homogenization in silicone binder Phosphor sheet manufacturing: lamination or molding on a glass or PET substrate. Initial curing. Chromaticity testing and sheet sorting SEM cross section showing uniform dispersion of the particles in the silicone sheet ( source: Nitto Denko ) ©2015 | www.yole.fr |Phosphor and Quantum Dots 2015

**These patent apps includes QD-related components, & among several others I found, appears to show N-D being interested in QD-solar apps, which may (or may not[?]) have some bearing on Solterras' recent resurgence: http://www.google.im/patents/WO2013116569A1?cl=fi http://www.google.is/patents/WO2013116559A1?cl=is http://www.bioportfolio.com/search/solar-cell...denko.html
**Nitto-Denko (among many others) was at the QDForum2015 last March...checkout the 2nd picture down on the right of this pdf...looks a lot like SS & Toshi , & possibly the back of Arts' head as well http://www.smithersapex.com/getattachment/pro...EX_FIN.pdf
**I saw a few hints that seemed to indicate N-D has some interests in 'touch sensitive' displays (which might play into Apples new lineup) & holographic displays as well...some seeming to be linked to QD's in one way or another, but nothing definite.
