Date Announced: 11 Nov 2010 Watertown, Mass. - QD Vision, Inc. and Solvay today announced an agreement under which the companies will develop a printable electroluminescent platform for quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) that will lead to a new generation of solid state lighting products. Developed by QD Vision, QLEDs are a reliable, energy efficient, tunable color solution for display and lighting applications that reduce manufacturing costs, while employing ultra-thin, transparent or flexible materials. www.qdvision.com/qleds-the-future QLEDs utilize printing technologies to enable the manufacture of electroluminescent lighting devices in a wide variety of form factors including thin, lightweight, and flexible substrates. These new solid state lighting devices can be produced efficiently in 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. About QD Vision, Inc. QD Vision (www.qdvision.com) is a quantum dot product company that delivers highly differentiated lighting and display solutions. QD Vision's Quantum Light™ platform enables step-change advances in current generation solutions, such as LCDs, LEDs and even OLEDs, and ultimately a significant leap over these technologies. Leveraging a first-tier patent position in nanotechnology originating at MIT, QD Vision is a privately held company based in Watertown, Mass.
