Frost & Sullivan Lauds Quantum Materials Corp. for Its Ground-Breaking, Commercially Viable Quantum Dot Manufacturing Technology PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Dec. 20, 2012 - The innovative technology enables large-scale production of highly efficient, inexpensive QDs MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the advanced quantum dot ("QD") manufacturing market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Quantum Materials Corporation ("QMC") with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Enabling Technology. QMC's technology, employing an innovative tetrapod quantum dot continuous-flow chemistry process addresses the major challenges—low production and corresponding high manufacturing cost—that have held back the wide-spread adoption of QD technology by major industries. http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121220/DA32892LOGO QMC's process enables bulk manufacturing (95 percent to 97 percent full tetrapod yield) of highly efficient tetrapod- shaped QDs that have 4 arms on the QD core to enable better electrical conductivity compared to current QD technology. The structure and size of the resulting Tetrapod QDs are highly uniform, which enables the narrow bandwidth light extraction accuracy of QMC's quantum dots to be significantly higher than QDs manufactured through batch colloidal synthesis.
