They would have to fix this part first:

"Quantum dots from most suppliers also contain cadmium, a toxic metal

That may be yet another RoHS knee-jerk over

that CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots are not bio active.

That doesn't mean that derivates of discarded units don't produce toxic

Interesting. On the other hand I'm surprised I've never heard of this
technology before, and I do follow the news.


They are probably trying to solve that environmental thingy...
