The 'first & only' sCMOS camera with over 80% peak quantum efficiency
Hamamatsu Photonics is proud to announce that the peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) of the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 has been increased to over 80% and it is now available for immediate delivery. With the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 already delivering a wide field of view, wide dynamic range and fast frame rates, this increase in QE from the front-illuminated sensor makes it yet more versatile and powerful.
Quantum dots help boost superior colour reproduction
QD Vision has announced that Tongfang Global will soon provide its customers with 'wide colour gamut' televisions based on QD Vision’s Color IQ quantum dot technology. Color IQ solutions enable television and monitor manufacturers to deliver products capable of showing millions more colours than today’s 4K displays. Tongfang, which markets many of its products under the popular Seiki brand, will demonstrate its 55” 4K Ultra HD C...
The era of quantum dot monitors
MMD and QD Vision have joined forces to bring the world’s first quantum dot desktop monitor to Europe. The Philips 27” Full HD monitor (276E6ADS) delivers 99% Adobe RGB colour thanks to Color IQ technology from QD Vision. Philips monitors will showcase the quantum dot monitor at IFA, Hall 22 Booth 101.
Quantum dot technology may help light the future
Advances at Oregon State University in manufacturing technology for quantum dots may soon lead to the next generation of LED lighting that produces a more user-friendly white light, while using fewer toxic materials and low-cost manufacturing processes that take advantage of simple microwave heating.
Strange magnetic behaviour has quantum computing potential
An exotic kind of magnetic behavior, driven by the mere proximity of two materials, has been analysed by a team of researchers at MIT and elsewhere, using a technique called spin-polarised neutron reflectometry. They say the finding could be used to probe a variety of exotic physical phenomena, and could ultimately be used to produce key components of future quantum computers.
Optical chip lights up the race for quantum computer
The microprocessor inside a computer is a single multipurpose chip that has revolutionised people’s life, allowing them to use one machine to surf the web, check emails and keep track of finances. Now, researchers from the University of Bristol and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT), have pulled off the same feat for light in the quantum world by developing an optical chip that can process photons in an infinite number of ways.
Nanoscale technique enables 'perfect' quantum dot junctions
Researchers have developed a method for growing ‘hybrid’ crystals at the nanoscale, in which quantum dots - essentially nanoscale semiconductors - of different materials can be sequentially incorporated into a host nanowire with perfect junctions between the components. An approach to self-assemble and tailor complex structures at the nanoscale opens opportunities to tailor properties and functionalities of materials for a wide r...
Quantum dot spectrometer fits inside a smartphone
Instruments that measure the properties of light, known as spectrometers, are widely used in physical, chemical, and biological research. These devices are usually too large to be portable, but Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientists have now shown they can create spectrometers small enough to fit inside a smartphone camera, using tiny semiconductor nanoparticles called quantum dots.
'Worlds first' quantum dot desktop monitor
A quantum dot desktop monitor was launched in China thanks to a partnership between MMD (Philips Monitors) and QD Vision. The Philips 27” Full HD monitor, 276E6ADS (E6), achieves 99% Adobe RGB colour, making it suitable for entertainment, gaming professional photography and design. QD Vision is demonstrating the quantum dot monitor at booth 1025 at SID Display Week.
Are quantum dots finally ready for the prime time?
According to Yole Développement, Quantum Dots are finally ready for prime time and will exceed traditional phosphor revenue by 2020 by allowing LCD to compete with OLED in the race for the next-gen displays. This prediction comes from a recent Yole LED downconverters technology & market report, Phosphors & Quantum Dots 2015: LED Downconverters for Lighting & Displays.
