Good catch Jamis...Kudos2U Based on the wording h

Based on the wording here. I don't know if QMC actually supplied QD's for this research. I'll have to assume they did or the applicant wouldn't have hidden this credit deep within this patent text merely as an un-solicited 'shout-out' to QMC. In any case, I've spent years looking for something like this to verify QMC actually participating in 3rd-party endeavors, as can often be seen by others. Now, it would be swell if something actually came of this...or anything else
*16. The shade of claim 11 wherein the wavelength shifter portion comprises a coating of quantum dots disposed on at least one surface of the sheet of material.
*[0068] In at least one implementation, at least a portion of the shade 50 may be substantially transparent and may incorporate a phosphor (e.g., a europium doped strontium-barium silicate phosphor, such as P/N O5446 available from Intematix Corporation) which operates as a wavelength shifter or converter to convert shorter wavelengths (e.g., 440-480 nm wavelengths, 400-490 nm wavelengths) into longer, more desirable wavelengths. In at least one implementation, at least a portion of the shade 50 may be substantially transparent and coated with quantum dots which convert the shorter wavelengths (e.g., 440-480 nm wavelengths) into longer, more desirable wavelengths. The coating of quantum dots may be a coating available from Quantum Materials Corporation, San Marcos, Tex., for example. The longer wavelength light may be projected onto the residential area (house side) in addition to some part of the original higher color temperature light, thereby lowering the color temperature of the light on the house side (HS) while retaining higher color temperature light on the street side (SS).
Seems to indicate this product concept intended as proposed exterior residence &/or 'street lighting'.
