QD Vision Receives $700K

The Department of Energy has awarded more than $700,000 to Watertown, Mass.-based QD Vision, a developer of nanotechnology-based products for lighting displays. As part of a program to create advanced solid-state technologies, the company was selected for its submission titled, “Quantum Dot Light Enhancement Substrate for OLED Solid-State Lighting.” Its goal is to develop a practical solid-state lighting solution that is power-efficient and emits light with high color qualities.

There are 201 suppliers of Light Sources in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

nanotechnology: The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
quantum dots: A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
