What is quantum dot lighting?
Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals which emit photons (light) when excited by electricity. These cells can then be used to create quantum light emitting diodes (QLEDs). With the ability to tune color, QLEDS have the potential of solving color consistency and quality issues that have plagued standard LEDs.
Are quantum dots Photostable?
The interest in quantum dots (QDs) and their popularity in life science applications stems from their high photostability and unique optical properties such as superior light absorption. Photostability of semiconductor QDs is reportedly higher than that of organic dyes, but QDs may also be affected by light exposure.
Are quantum dots cheap?
Quantum dots typically cost more than $2,000 per gram from commercial sources, and pricey solvents like octadecene, or ODE – the least expensive solvent used in quantum dot preparation today – account for about 90 percent costs of raw materials.
What company makes quantum dots?
Nanosys is a nanotechnology company located in Milpitas, California and founded in 2001. The company develops and manufactures quantum dot materials for display products….Nanosys.

How bright are quantum dots?
The fluorescent properties of quantum dots offer a number of advantages for their use in optical imaging. The brightness of quantum dots is 10–100 times greater than most organic dyes or proteins.
