Dublin, March 09, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/672td5/quantum_dot) has announced the addition of the "Quantum Dot Market by Product, Material, Application, and Geography- Forecast up to 2020" report to their offering.
The report provides a detailed view of the quantum dots market with regards to products, applications, and material market; and also presents a detailed market segmentation, with qualitative and quantitative analysis of each and every aspect of the segmentation; done by product, application, material and geography.
Quantum dots or QD are tiny particles, better known as nanoparticles of a semiconductor material, traditionally, called chalcogenides (selenides or sulfides) of metals such as cadmium or zinc (CdSe or ZnS), which range from 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter (about the width of 50 atoms). Due to their small size, these particles possess unique optical and electrical properties that are different in character to those of the corresponding bulk materials. A quantum dot is a semiconductor material, whose excitons are confined in all three spatial dimensions (3D); such materials have electronic properties that are in between those of bulk semiconductors and discrete molecules.
The most important feature of QD is that a manufacturer can change its size; and vary the intensity and color of light. It does not require other external materials to charge the device. The intensity of QD-based display depends on the structure of the QD. A large structure emits a greater intensity wave length, whereas a small dot ends up at the blue end of a spectrum. Also, larger dots are closer to the red end of a spectrum. Dots can be tuned beyond the visible light into the infrared or the ultra-violet. The ability to control the size of a quantum dot enables a manufacturer to determine the wavelength of the emission, which determines the color of light, which a human eye perceives. Quantum dots can be tuned during production to emit any color of light desired. The ability to control, or tune the emission from a quantum dot by changing its core size is called the size quantization effect.
Major companies involved in the quantum dot market are QD Vision, Inc. (U.S.), Nanosys Inc. (U.S.), and Nanoco Group Plc. (U.K.) among many others.
The overall quantum dot market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 63.23% from 2014 to 2020. The major application for the quantum dot market is the consumer application. The display product dominates the other product market with the highest percentage share in the quantum dot market.
