PEN: Nanosys is Making Progress on Inkjet Printing QD Displays

Aug 24, 2022

David Savastano writing for Printed Electronics Now:

“Quantum dots are solution-processed semiconductors, which can be jetted. There has been some noteworthy work done in the area of printing quantum dots, but commercialization isn’t there yet.

That is changing, though. Nanosys, the leading manufacturer of quantum dots, is reporting success in early stages of printing QD-based displays. Jeff Yurek, Nanosys’ VP of marketing, says that printing quantum dots is closer than people think.

’It will be sooner than you might imagine,” Yurek noted. “We’ve moved beyond early lab prototypes and are starting to see some super interesting work that looks a lot more like a real product. At the annual SID Display Week tradeshow back in May, there were a few prototype demonstrations of printed quantum dot displays being shown on the floor and in private suites. Nanosys’ partner BOE demonstrated a 55” 4K emissive quantum dot TV made using inkjet printing.’"
