There are a range of technologies that are being used in displays. One of these is quantum dots; Samsung the leading producer in this segment, with Nanosys the leading supplier of quantum dot light emitting materials and technology.

“The company developed highly efficient xGaN micro-LEDs based on unique methods and processes,” Kempt said. “Nanosys has been collaborating with glō for several years on color conversion for microLEDs, so we had first-hand experience of glō’s unique capabilities, working with their team and developing a close relationship. This is how our relationship evolved and how we decided to accelerate our work by bringing the two teams together.”

Kempt observed that Nanosys sees the future of display as being emissive.

We have been working on developing emissive display technologies like Electroluminescent QD or NanoLED and color conversion technology for OLEDs and microLEDs from day one,” Kempt said. “We see NanoLEDs as the ultimate future display technology. NanoLED will enable truly disruptive low temperature, low cost, solution processed manufacturing of displays with incredible performance.”
