Snark, they look like a distributor, not an OEM.

The number of companies working on quantum dot has increased to over 80 in 2016 from just 60 companies in 2015,” said Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, CEO and principal analyst at Touch Display Research Inc.
(my note: There are very few QD manufacturers that are competitive in sales with QMC)

“The market for quantum dots is continuously growing in both market size and types of applications,” David Doderer , VP R&D, Quantum Materials Corp, said. “Major markets today are the display industry, which is rapidly converting from phosphor to quantum dot LCD and OLED HDTV 4K units, and the nascent quantum dot solid-state lighting (SSL) market, which will make use of QD-LED as they are developed commercially in the near future. Farther down the road but just as large of a market, if not bigger, will be the quantum dot solar cell (QDSC) market, and the use of quantum dots in the biotech field, for diagnostic assays, theranostics to treat cancer and other diseases, and superior molecular imaging.”

“We expect QDs-enabled LCDs will grow from about $500 million in 2015 to $5 billion in 2020, a CAGR of 60%, primarily from TVs,” Dr. Sun said. “This corresponds to a $500 million opportunity in five years for materials suppliers looking to supply QDs that go into these displays.”

“Our ability to quickly scale production capabilities with more throughput and efficiency allows Quantum Materials to offer a reliable production program of a variety of uniform quantum dots, metal oxide and catalyst materials,” Doderer added. “This is exciting because it means the uses for quantum dots can expand in all directions and paths without limitations in production output.”
Squires said that the biggest area for advancement will be fulfilling the needs and demands of industry for the tonnage of quantum dots that will be needed for all the products companies want to manufacture.
“Inkjet printing has been implemented for printing QDs to fabricate OLED employing QDs,” said Squires. “It is called QLED.”
“I believe there are tremendous opportunities for printing in the quantum dot industry. Printing and coating are needed to make quantum dot film, and in the future, maybe quantum dot on chip, or quantum dot on color filter,” said Dr. Colegrove.
