CFQD

CADMIUM-FREE QUANTUM DOTS

CFQD® materials are Nanoco’s core technology, consisting of fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles typically between 10 to 100 atoms in diameter, which is about 1/1000th the width of a human hair.

When one of these particles is excited by an external light source, it absorbs the energy and re-emits the light in a different colour depending on the size of the particle. Therefore, by tuning the size of these particles, one is able to control the colour of light emitted to any colour in the spectrum.

Quantum dots can also be tuned for use in a variety of different media with adjustment of the surface ligands, opening them up to several different form factors and applications.

TV

QDs enable wide colour gamut in the largest application by total surface area

Tablets

QDs enhance the ability of tablets to perform in all lighting and environmental conditions – a must for any portable device.

Phones

Using QDs in micro-LEDs for phones will release much needed real estate in handheld devices.

Headsets

Quantum dots are easy to deploy in lightweight screens in flexible form factors.

Monitors

More leisure time devoted to gaming requires fast response and the fantastic range of colours delivered by QDs.

Smart Watch

QDs well adapted to micro-LED displays for razor sharp small images

Automotive Displays

QDs have a role to play in the increased digitalization of displays and infotainment systems in automobiles

Control Systems

Quantum dots are well suited to ruggedized screens in tough working environments
