Osram enters Quantum Dot market - without cadmium
December 31, 2015 - brings under the product name Quantum Colors Osram Opto Semiconductors, a new Quantum Dot technology to market that dispenses with cadmium, covering DCI-P3 to 100% - and even half as expensive as methods of competition. Thomas Kletschke

The coming year will bring a whole lot more at the display technologies of contrast, color and color fastness and the black levels. Wide Color Gamut is important - in the B2B market and B2C applications. The way there are diverse - OLED, for example, one of them.
On the other fork in the road - in the LCD technologies, which can not do without a LED backlighting unlike OLED - something is going on in the market for quantum dots. What at UHD TVs and computer monitors for professionals and prosumers also could express themselves in a price decline.
At QD and the market to QD is fighting for market share - and also industry-internally and publicly about grappled whether you should continue to focus on those technologies that contain cadmium.
Now Osram Opto Semiconductors brings the new conversion technology Quantum Colors on the market. Their main characteristics: a significantly better color gamut and according to the manufacturer significant cost savings compared to traditional Quantum Dot Technology Sheets and cadmium-free.
Run first customer projects; the use of Osram technology to the mass market for LED backlighting is planned by the end of 2016th
Colors Quantum Quantum based on a green converter, which is combined with a red phosphor on a blue chip. The technology has been partially developed in the EU or BMBF funding projects SSL4EU and Hi-Q LED and involved no cadmium. This results in numerous advantages over Quantum Dot Sheets, the usual for maximum color claims in TV backlighting technology: In the color gamut Quantum Color is superior because through a narrow spectral half width of 30 nm in the green color space standards as DCI-P3 can be covered at 100% and REC2020 to more than 80%.
The Osram technology does not require additional adjustments to the system or other components. Thus, manufacturing processes and the entire system can be simplified.
The costs can be compared to Quantum Dot Sheet solutions that are based on a few nanometers large semiconductor particles, halved. "An example illustrates the large savings for the customer," says Peter Lenz, Product Marketing LED at Osram Opto Semiconductors. "With a 55" TV with Ultra HD 100% DCI cover can be realized in our Quantum Color technology with complete bulbs cost of only 55 Euro based. In contrast, previous solutions alone for the Quantum Dot Sheet has the duplicate costs would be incurred. "
A further advantage is that over the service life remains constant color. In Quantum Dot Sheets these changed over time, according to Osram bluish. When it comes to life Quantum Color LED should reach at least 30,000 hours; first tests are already showing positive results.
It is possible that in addition to TV set manufacturers also AiO vendors like Apple (Retina iMac from 2016 or 2017) and Monitor forging as Eizo pleased with a backlighting could find technology that is too loose fulfills the important nascent color space DCI-P3 100% - and the yet to is better cost feasible.
The Quantum Dot providers falling achievable prices could be a result. Also OLEDs are medium term come to further falling prices on the market.
