Project Description

Value to Client

Quarterly technology and business reports on hot-topic competitive technology

Keeping client informed of rapidly evolving technology allowed for more intelligent risk-taking and targeted marketing strategy.

Spec out equipment and setup new lab. Train employees on QD synthesis, characterization, and safety. Educate on market, players, and competition.

Improved understanding of market, QD processing, resulting in identification of high value offering. New product line released.

Optical modeling of QD-containing light engine.

In-depth modeling allowed for identification of major loss mechanisms leading to improved designs with modeled ~2x performance increase.

Patent analysis and expert consultant on cases related to quantum dots, chemistry, materials, optics, displays.

Independent analysis from respected technical expert with industry experience

TV teardown and analysis of optical component

Developed full understanding of the technology in use and how client's chemistry is currently being utilized and how it could be leveraged in other use cases.

Improve market penetration of existing products and lead next-gen product development for QLED display applications.
