In 2009, QD Vision emerged as a clean-tech innovator and leader enabling a new generation of highly efficient lighting and display products with significantly smaller carbon footprints. The company’s Quantum Light™ product platform, built on quantum dot light emitting materials and devices, will deliver unparalleled color and brightness and require significantly less power than current-generation technologies for applications such as solid state lighting and displays. A next-generation LED lamp from Nexxus Lighting, Inc. incorporating the Quantum Light™ optic from QD Vision will be commercially available in Q1, 2010.
