Display Daily: Smartkem & Nanosys Expand on Joint Development

March 3, 2022

Bob Raikes writing for Display Daily:

“The other area that Nanosys has been talking for a number of years about is the idea of electroluminescent QDs, which is to say QDs that are excited to produce light not by photons, as they are in colour conversion, but by electrons. That ought to be more efficient and simpler than converting the electrons to blue photons and then colour converting them. However, it's not easy. Nanosys calls these NanoLEDs, but I'm going to call them ELQDs, for now.

Both the microLEDs and the ELQDs are emissive technologies that need active matrix backplanes if they are to be of high enough resolution and quality to be competitive with LCDs and OLEDs. That's where Smartkem comes in, and, conveniently, for both technologies.”
