In a world of powerful, ‘always connected’ wireless devices, Polymer Vision’s goal is to provide the leading technologies for large displays in small mobile devices. We’re enabling whole new design concepts in mobile products, opening up revolutionary possibilities in form and flexibility.

For device makers, this means freedom to create distinctive products with strong consumer appeal. Content owners, service providers and network operators also stand to benefit from large screens on small devices. For them, greater ‘visual convenience’ creates exciting new business opportunities in the growing data-oriented broadband services market.

Unique experience
Although Polymer Vision is a young business, we spun out from Philips Electronics in 2006, we have more expertise in polymer electronics than any other player in this field. With access to Philips’ expertise, we can draw on over 20 years’ experience in polymer electronics and a wealth of patented IP (Intellectual Property) developed by Philips’ world-renowned research organization.

Within one year of our launch in January 2003, we had already demonstrated the world’s thinnest, highest resolution, largest diagonal rollable display. In September 2004, we started a pilot production line with sufficient capacity to demonstrate the commercial viability of the technology.

Rollable displays: ready for commercialization
To help us develop our unique display technologies to their full potential, we have established strategic partnerships with a number of other leading companies specializing in films, organic materials and advanced display technologies. Their expertise adds to the know-how of our own in-house R&D team.

Today, our rollable display technology is ready for commercialization and we are actively seeking further partners who share our belief that large screens in small devices are vital to the connected, mobile world.

QD Vision Improves Quantum-Dot LED Performance

Benj — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:00:35 +0000

Short description

QD Vision, Inc., announced it has achieved significant improvements in efficiency of its red quantum-dot light-emitting devices (QD-LEDs). The trend of improvements in brightness, color resolution and other metrics continue to advance QD- LEDs toward best-in-class performance levels among display technologies.

Article body

WATERTOWN, MA, Nov. 13, 2006 – QD Vision, Inc., announced it has achieved significant improvements in efficiency of its red quantum-dot light-emitting devices (QD-LEDs). The trend of improvements in brightness, color resolution and other metrics continue to advance QD- LEDs toward best-in-class performance levels among display technologies.

"The new performance registered with our red QD-LED is an important milestone on QD Vision's path to develop and deliver quantum-dot materials, device architectures and manufacturing processes that will enable manufacturers to produce the next generation of high-performance displays," said QD Vision CEO Mark Comerford.

According to QD Vision, red QD-LEDs fabricated in its laboratory have consistently and simultaneously achieved external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 3.1% and luminous efficiencies of 3.4 lm/W (4.2 Cd/A) at a brightness of 210 nits and with CIExy color coordinates of (0.66, 0.33), which exceeds the stringent NTSC standard. These metrics are substantial improvements over the best-in-class results QD Vision announced for its red LEDs in June 2006.

The improvements in QD Vision's red display come on the heels of the company's announcement in October of the world's first green quantum-dot LED, which also achieved record setting performance levels. The company said it has also produced a blue QD-LED that will be the focus of a future announcement.

"We are making steady progress toward commercialization of quantum-dot display materials and technologies," said Dr. Seth Coe-Sullivan, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of QD Vision. "We intend to continue driving further improvements in the performance of QD Vision devices to enable the next generation of displays that will offer a better lifetime, efficiency, and viewing experience than current-generation products."

About QD Vision
QD Vision (http://www.qdvision.com) is leading quantum-dot materials advancements and manufacturing process development for the next-generation of displays. With backing from Highland Capital Partners and North Bridge Venture Partners, QD Vision's interdisciplinary team is focused on eliminating the shortcomings of current-generation displays by achieving the unique combination of high product reliability, low power consumption, scalable manufacturing, and best-in-class viewing experience.

Panorama Labs Pty. Ltd. was incorporated in Perth, Western Australia, in 2003 to pursue research, development, and commercialization of a breakthrough technology in the field of photonics.

In physics, the two discrete disciplines of optics and magnetics have been thoroughly explored and are well understood. However, there is an area where these two disciplines overlap, and this area of magneto-optics has received significantly less attention, leaving fertile ground for exploration. It is this area of magneto-optics which has been exploited by the company.

This technology was developed over a period of several years by the company’s founder, Sutherland Ellwood Jr. The opportunity and timing to accelerate development and pursue a broad-based commercialization strategy was made possible through recent advances in nano-scale materials and fabrication technologies (nanotechnology).

The recent growth in the display industry has been dominated by LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and plasma screens. However, technological limitations prevent these two technologies from reaching the picture quality that customers deserve. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) technologies offer this quality but cannot provide sufficient screen size or flat screens.

FED technology stands to offer large screens with CRT-level picture quality, with much lower energy usage, significantly increasing the lifetime of battery operated devices. FED, or Field Emission Display, technology is emerging as a genuine contender to compete with and replace LCD and plasma technologies’ dominance over the display industry.

NanoFED has an experienced team, headed by Dr. Neil Fox. NanoFED is a disruptive technology within the FED field, offering low-voltage, highly uniform, rugged display technology, compatible with existing manufacturing lines.
This will allow NanoFED products to be manufactured without the high capital costs required by new production lines. The step change offered by NanoFED technology stems from the innovative use of diamond dust rather than the more commonly used carbon-nanotubes.

The market is not limited to commercial large-screen displays. NanoFED will target markets as diverse as healthcare, military and transportation, providing net market value several hundred million dollars.

Products made with E Ink's revolutionary electronic ink possess a paper-like high contrast appearance, ultra-low power consumption and a thin, light form. E Ink's technology is ideal for many consumer and industrial applications spanning handheld devices, watches, clocks and public information and promotional signs. Future technology developments will enable many new applications through ultra-thin, lightweight, rugged, flexible, full color displays.

E Ink has commercialized many different forms of "Electronic Paper" solutions over the past seven years. In April 2004, E Ink launched an active-matrix display product with SONY in Japan based on our unique electronic display material which SONY values for its brightness, high contrast, and low power - just like paper. Recent press announcements with Seiko (watches), Casio (clocks), Vossloh (transportation signage) and NeoLux (retail signage) illustrate the increasing demand for commercialization of E Ink's electronic ink technology.
