On the more serious note, The "EU" RoHS limitation as stated in the article is from 2003. They are meeting this month to agree on a new standard. They have already stated they are not going to grant the extension due to other materials performing the same function that do not contain "CADMIUM" (ie-Cadmium Free Quantum Dots). All of those peeps stating that some don't understand the "Quantity" of less than 100ppm are not understanding "0"ppm is the only allowable amount of Cadmium anywhere !!! it is really Nasty stuff and cannot be eliminated once its made" eg. anyone see "Lead in their Paint" How abut Lead in your Gasoline".
In 2003, the European Union issued a directive known as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive that limits the levels of certain hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. Cadmium is one of the regulated materials with a maximum allowable concentration of 100ppm in a specified component. Currently, there is an exemption to the RoHS Directive for cadmium based materials for use in displays because, until now, no practical alternative to cadmium based materials could match its performance in terms of color, brightness or power efficiency. That exemption is set to expire at the end of 2017, which had left many display makers wondering if they would be able to find a solution to continue offering BT.2020 color without cadmium.
