QD Vision, Inc, based in Watertown, MA, delivers a new generation of display and lighting solutions that require less energy. QD Vision’s Quantum Light™ platform promises to offer unparalleled color and brightness and require less power than current-generation LED technologies. How do they do this? QD uses quantum dot (QD) films to generate tunable white emission from blue emitting phosphorescent OLED (Ph-OLED) devices to develop a cost-competitive solution for realizing increased extraction efficiency organic light emitting devices (OLEDs).
In April, QD Vision was amongst fourteen projects to receive solid-state lighting (SSL) funding opportunities from The National Energy Technology Laboratory, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Last week the company launched its first commercial product and was also awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract by the U.S. Army as part of its Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). With the grant, QD Vision will develop micro-displays based on quantum dot-based light-emitting devices (QLEDs) for NVESD.
QD’s LED bulbs look slightly different than traditional “down lamps,” such as those in home track lighting, but fit standard fixtures using the same “screw-in” mechanism that has been around for decades. The products are expected to be generally available in the fourth quarter of this year.
