Project description
At the cornerstone of next-generation display technology
In the realm of display technology, there is growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives to heavy metal-laden quantum dots (QDs). While traditional QD solutions offer excellent optical properties, they pose significant environmental risks and regulatory hurdles. This dilemma has stalled the development of marketable microLED displays. With the support of the European Innovation Council, the QustomDot project will address the pressing demand for heavy metal-free QD technology by revolutionising the microLED industry. Promising remarkable stability under intense light, QustomDot’s approach offers unparalleled optical properties crucial for microLED applications. It is also fully compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. Collaborating with industry leaders and backed by six patent families, it aims to dominate 20 % of the QD market share by 2030.
Objective
QustomDot is the first and only company developing an all-around heavy metal-free quantum dot (QD) solution which is fully RoHS-compliant while combining high stability under high light flux with the excellent optical properties required by the microLED applications. This is an urgent demand from the display industry, which cannot develop marketable microLED displays without using an efficient QD color conversion technology (QDCC) free of heavy metals.
Our main target customers are the microLED developers/manufacturers, while the users are panel makers, OEMs and the end user. We are already collaborating with key players from all the layers of the value chain, and we have 6 patent families (3 of them already granted).
Our unique capacity as key enablers of the microLED technology, will position us as the reference on QDCC for the next-generation display technology. Our vision is to become a world leader in the QD quantum dot market, addressing a 20% of the market share by 2030.
