The market for quantum dots (QD) for TVs and displays is thriving. Bob O’Brien, co-founder and president of DSCC, noted that last year, 4 million TV panels were sent featuring quantum dots. That is expected to grow to 6.5 million this year and 10 million QD panels next year.
With an eye on significantly increasing its manufacturing capacity to meet higher demand, Nanosys recently completed a significant expansion at its Milpitas, CA plant. The expansion increases production capabilities at Nanosys’ 60,000 square foot facility to more than 50 tons per year of quantum dot materials. This will help meet the increasing demand for next-generation heavy metal-free quantum dot displays for televisions, monitors and tablets.
“The adoption of quantum dot displays continues to grow,” Nanosys CEO Jason Hartlove said in announcing the expansion. “In 2018, we were rapidly reaching capacity for our existing production lines at 25 tons annually an
