...here's some recent quotes of interest:
* LG says : "We can even produce quantum dot displays at the moment, but will not talk about our competitors," http://en.ofweek.com/news/LG-Display-seeks-re...n-2Q-38415
* Samsung says : Samsung Electronics applied 2nd Generation Quantum-Dot technology to its 2016 SUHD TVs. Biggest differences between 1st generation and 2nd generation are efficiency and quality. Samsung owns Quantum-Dot technology, which is the only technology in the world that does not use a heavy metal called cadmium. However a problem lied in a fact that a material that replaces cadmium, which has high coupling efficiency with sulfur, had low efficiency. This led to Samsung Electronics having many difficulties during 1st generation. Due to low efficiency, SUHD TVs with 1st Generation Quantum-Dot had had a problem where production cost was rising. Samsung Electronics was able to fix this problem by adding a new catalyst to 2nd generation and increased efficiency by more than 30%.
Due to improvement in efficiency, competitiveness for products was also improved. Not only unit cost for production was lowered, but color representation power also became better which led to improvement in quality that is the major point for TVs.
"Our major technical skill was to use a new catalyst to improve efficiency.” said President Kim Hyun-seok of Samsung Electronics. “It can be seen that productivity has increased by 30%
since efficiency has improved by 30%.”
