QD Vision wins $1.38 million contract
The firm will develop its QLED technology to eventually produce devices that can be employed by U.S. forces
QD Vision was recently awarded by the Department of Defence for specialised devices based on electroluminescent quantum dots.
The 12-month program will result in the development of prototype devices that can be tested under real-world conditions, and that will ultimately be employed by U.S. forces.
QLEDs made by QD Vision
Quantum dot technology developed at QD Vision provides some advantages in numerous display and lighting applications. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that can be tuned to emit light at specific wavelengths, and quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) are thin-film, low-voltage devices with the capability to emit in both monochrome and full-colour modes.
“This award demonstrates QD Vision’s leadership in emissive materials and devices, and combines our strengths in inorganic chemistry, thin-film deposition and electrical device physics,” says Jason Carlson, President and CEO of QD Vision. “We are excited and honoured to take on this challenging program to provide important new devices and technology to the United States Department of Defence.”
