2018 definately will see the QD companies make investment decisions!
QUANTUM LEAP
Although quantum dots have been in development since the 1980s, they have only made the leap from laboratory to market in the last decade.
Nanosys shelved its plan to go public in 2004 for want of a viable product. Now the company says an initial public offering is its next step.
Lexington, Massachusetts-based QD Vision considers an IPO to be a possibility in 2015, Carlson said.
Two other quantum dot makers plan to shift their listings to larger exchanges, their CEOs told Reuters. Nanoco Group Plc will move to the London Stock Exchange from the bourse's AIM, and San Marcos, Texas-based Quantum Materials Corp will go to the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq from over the counter.
To supply the volumes needed for large-scale manufacturing, QD Vision has partnered with LG Display Co Ltd, while Nanosys has a manufacturing partnership with a unit of 3M Co.
The shift from OLED technology toward quantum dots has been especially prevalent in TV, where OLED panels have proven expensive for large screens.
Sony and Panasonic Corp, Japan's two largest consumer electronics companies, in December announced an end to their joint development of OLED TV screens.
