New England Clean Energy Council Names QD Vision "Emerging Company of the Year"

Maker of Quantum Light Products for Solid State Lighting and Displays Selected
as a Leading Green Technology Innovator for 2009

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
The New England Clean Energy Council has named QD Vision, Inc.
(www.qdvision.com), developer of nanotechnology-based products for lighting and
displays, the 2009 "Emerging Company of the Year." In an awards ceremony at the
council`s Green Tie Gala Wednesday night at the JFK Library in Boston, the Clean
Energy Council recognized QD Vision for "exiting its development phase with
tremendous momentum, poised to build on that momentum with rapid sales growth."

In 2009, QD Vision emerged as a clean-tech innovator and leader enabling a new
generation of highly efficient lighting and display products with significantly
smaller carbon footprints. The company`s Quantum Light product platform, built
on quantum dot light emitting materials and devices, will deliver unparalleled
color and brightness and require significantly less power than
current-generation technologies for applications such as solid state lighting
and displays. A next-generation LED lamp from Nexxus Lighting, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NEXS) incorporating the Quantum Light optic from QD Vision will be
commercially available in Q1, 2010.

"QD Vision is honored to be selected as the Clean Energy Council`s Emerging
Company of the Year, which entailed passing through a rigorous selection
process," said Dr. Dan Button, President and CEO of QD Vision. "Our Quantum
Light products break the performance trade off of current light sources by
uniquely reducing power consumption and total system costs, while at the same
time significantly improving light color quality and brightness. ."
