Nanosys and DIC today announced a breakthrough in inkjet-printed Quantum Dot colour conversion devices for LCD and emissive displays which they claim will pave the way to the $12.6 billion anticipated market for low cost, ultra-thin and flexible displays.
Inkjet printing of Quantum Dot colour conversion layers could breathe life into the LCD technology, and accelerate the development of emerging emissive display technologies such as microLEDs.

This device will be demonstrated by Nanosys and DIC Global at the IDW Conference in Sendai, Japan.
The benefits of Quantum Dot colour conversion layers include a power efficiency or brightness improvement of as much as 300 percent , perfect 180 degree viewing angles and lifelike colour accuracy with much wider colour gamut.
Kiyotaka Kawashima, Executive Officer and General Manager Corporate R&D Division, DIC Corporation said: "Nanosys is focused on providing best-in-class Quantum Dot materials and technology to help printed Quantum Dot displays achieve mass commercialization."
"We expect that our collaboration with Nanosys will enable display makers to successfully manufacture printed Quantum Dot displays, at scale, sooner."
Delivering a true mass production-ready ink jet printing solution for large area UltraHD Quantum Dot displays required technical breakthroughs in several key areas.
