Quantum dot displays now a reality
QD Vision, Inc. announced it has manufactured the world's first quantum dot display ("QD Display"). The company said in a press release that the monochrome display demonstrates the manufacturability and commercial feasibility of quantum dot technology as a foundation for the next generation of displays.

The 32-by-64-pixel, red, monochrome QD Display is the size of a cell-phone screen and approximately one-sixteenth of an inch thick. Its simple device architecture features a layer of quantum dot material sandwiched between two semiconductor regions. The light emission originates from the quantum dots - tiny (approximately 5 nanometer) inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals, which are synthesized by chemists at QD Vision's advanced QD Display prototyping facility.

"Production of our first QD Display is an important step toward our goal of developing a commercial manufacturing process for quantum dot displays." said John Ritter, QD Vision's Executive Vice President of Product Development and Operations.

Because of a quantum dot's unique physical properties, QD Displays have the potential to deliver a superior visual and user experience over liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) by producing brighter, richer and more accurate colors while consuming less power. (photo QD Vision)
