QD Vision Highlights Breakthroughs in Display and Lighting Technology at Major Industry Conferences

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
QD Vision (www.qdvision.com), developer of nanotechnology-based
solutions for displays and lighting, will address three major upcoming
conferences on advances made in quantum dot technology that result in
major improvements in color quality, brightness and efficiency for the
solid state lighting and display industries.

   Company co-founder Dr. Seth Coe-Sullivan will present at the 4th
Global Plastic Electronics conference in Berlin on October 28 and at
the Materials Research Society's (MRS) Fall Conference in December in
Boston. Dr. Peter Kazlas, Director of Device Development, on September
10th will deliver at EL2008 in Rome a keynote address titled "Quantum
Dot Light Emitting Diodes - a Printable Thin Film Light Source for
Displays and Lighting Applications." At the Plastic Electronics
conference, Dr. Coe-Sullivan will discuss quantum dot light emitting
devices for solid state lighting, while at MRS Fall 2008, he will
participate in a symposium on the Reliability and Properties of
Electronic Devices on Flexible Substrates.

   EL2008 is an international conference on the science and
technology of emissive displays and lighting. In its fourth year,
Global Plastics Electronics is the most comprehensive printed
electronics event in Europe. The fall conference of the Materials
Research Society is focused on extraordinary progress made in
materials science and technology.

   "As we make significant progress in solving the major issues that
display and lighting manufacturers face in implementing new
technologies -- lifetime, color, power efficiency, manufacturability
and scalability - it is important that we communicate our success,"
said Dr. Dan Button, QD Vision CEO. "We believe that quantum dot-based
materials have physical properties that can help display and lighting
makers reach the holy grail of breakthrough performance in mass
production with competitive consumer prices."

   QD Vision continues to improve and advance the capabilities and
light-emitting qualities of a new class of nanomaterials called
quantum dots. Using proprietary chemistry and process technology, QD
Vision can engineer quantum dots to emit light spanning the complete
spectrum of colors across the visible to the infrared when stimulated
with photons or electrons. Leveraging an expanding patent portfolio
from QD Vision and from MIT, the company is enabling a new generation
of advanced lighting solutions that will set new standards for
brightness, color precision and purity, power consumption and design
flexibility.
