Nanoco Group, the Manchester developer and manufacturer of cadmium-free quantum dots for display screens such as LCD TVs, said it is looking ahead to 2015 with confidence as the mass production of its technology is set to begin.

The Manchester-based group said it is “pleased” with the progress made with its partnership with The Dow Chemical Company for the manufacture of its quantum dots for the display market.

Dow is set to begin mass production of its dots in South Korea next year, and Nanoco added it is “particularly excited” about 2015.

Chairman Anthony Clinch said: “We are currently producing quantum dots from our own production facility in Runcorn to satisfy demand from customers and potential customers ahead of Dow’s mass production facility in Choenan coming on line.

“We look forward with confidence to the year ahead, during which time we expect to deliver further substantial progress in the commercialisation of our technology across our key target markets including display, LED general lighting, solar and bio-imaging.”
