Watertown, MA--Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (LEDs) manufacturer QD Vision and Solvay (Brussels, Belgium), a global industrial group focused on innovative and sustained processes in chemistry, announced an agreement under which the companies will develop a printable electroluminescent platform for quantum-dot LEDs (QLEDs) that they say will lead to a new generation of solid-state lighting products that will deliver extraordinary color quality.
Developed by QD Vision, QLEDs are a reliable, energy efficient, tunable color solution for display and lighting applications that reduce manufacturing costs using ultra-thin, transparent, or flexible materials. QLEDs utilize printing technologies to enable the manufacture of electroluminescent lighting devices in a wide variety of form factors, efficiently, at high volume and at low cost.
Quantum dots provide the stability and reliability of inorganic semiconductor materials, and can be processed in solution. This unique capability enables the efficient manufacture of next generation electroluminescent solid state light sources with extraordinary color quality, efficiency, and stability.
"Our Strategic partnership with Solvay is the first step in creating an ecosystem of solutions required to commercialize the QLED materials that will lead to a new generation of energy-efficient, solid state lighting products," said Jason Carlson, QD Vision president and CEO.
Leveraging a first-tier patent position in nanotechnology originating at MIT, QD Vision is a privately held company.
