QD Vision Awarded DARPA Contract

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 18, 2011 — QD Vision Inc. was awarded a $900,000, 12-month R&D development contract from DARPA to advance its quantum dot-based infrared materials and to deliver two prototype devices, the company announced yesterday.

At the end of the program, QD Vision will deliver two prototype solutions: one with quantum dots as an emissive layer in an electronic device (electroluminescent application) and the other in a film that is activated by external light sources (photoluminescent application).

A quantum dot product company, QD Vision delivers differentiated display and lighting solutions.

Glossary
quantum dots
A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
