Presenter: Dr. Brian Gally, Head of Product, Nanoco
Abstract: Quantum dots continue to be the most talked about technology in major trade shows of 2018 as consumers and digital content producers are increasingly demanding higher visual performance from their screens. At the same time, manufacturers are keen to find a cost effective solution that works with their existing LCD technology which is likely to remain dominant for the foreseeable future. In light of this, quantum dots tick all the right boxes: they provide exceptional color performance at high brightness while being both cost effective and environmentally sustainable. However, it still remains to be seen in what way QDs will be integrated into displays as the technology becomes more prevalent in a wider range of display applications. Will the currently popular QD films with blue BLU stay dominant, or will it be overtaken by QDs that are incorporated into light guide plates, QDs with EL backlight or perhaps QDs films with miniLEDs or microLEDs. In this talk, Brian Gally will be exploring what QD mode may be used in the next generation of displays as the technology becomes increasingly mainstream.
