What We Do

QuantumRail™ LED backlighting units are capable of delivering richer, more vibrant color than standard material solutions currently allow. Makers of most notebooks and mobile devices have settled for displays that perform with 60% to 70% of the 1953 National Television System Committee (NTSC) color standards. Current methods for increasing this visual performance are too expensive, too power hungry, and compromise on brightness.

The Nanosys QuantumRail™ device helps makers of LED displays deliver a better visual experience, using their existing manufacturing processes, at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Architected from quantum dots, the Nanosys QuantumRail™ improves color gamut, saturation and brightness from blue LED sources while delivering higher efficiency at lower cost than alternatives like OLED.

Nanosys brings the best IP in the field of inorganic nanomaterials to help visionary manufacturers stand out in the market with pure RGB illumination. While other solutions are limited by the broad spectrum of their material, Nanosys can engineer the red, green and blue spectra to deliver saturated primary colors far beyond 100% NTSC 1953 standards without degrading brightness of the unit and at a competitive cost. The result? Vibrant reds, brighter greens and more saturated colors on portable screens with a color palette richer even than the high end screens used by creative graphics professionals for critical color work.

Alternatively, today’s OLED displays lack sufficient brightness to be used in direct sunlight and are not scalable to high volume or large panel sizes. Smartphone and notebook computer manufacturers can turn to Nanosys QuantumRail™ based displays instead – yielding eye-catching products, available today based on the high volume LCD panel manufacturing infrastructure.

Process-ready components like the QuantumRail™ integrate easily and affordably on a mass scale with existing LCD BLU manufacturing processes. Nanosys has formed definitive commercial agreements with cutting edge electronics component manufacturers including LG Innotek (LGIT) for the first commercial application of quantum dots in consumer electronics. With the need for brighter, cheaper, better LED displays in everything from HD televisions to tablet PCs Nanosys materials are unlocking the barriers to an enhanced visual experience.
