The ability to print flexible displays is of significant interest to manufacturers. According to Research and Markets’ “Global Markets, Technologies and Applications for Flexible Displays,” by 2023, the market for flexible displays could top $12.6 billion. Combine printing with the fast-growing quantum dot technology, and the possibilities are virtually limitless.
In a major announcement, Nanosys and DIC recently reported a breakthrough using inkjet printing to produce quantum dot color conversion devices. This would be focused on LCD and emissive displays, such as microLEDs.
Minoru Hara, manager of DIC Corporation’s Marketing Division, noted that DIC has developed new inkjet inks for that make printing quantum dot (QD) displays possible. In terms of the partnership, Hara noted that Nanosys is developing cadmium-free quantum dot material adjusted to DIC’s inkjet ink, which is adjusted to inkjet printers. The inks can be jetted through a w
