SmartKem, Inc. and Nanosys, Inc. announced that they have entered into a joint development agreement to work together on a new generation of low-cost solution printed microLED and quantum dot materials for advanced displays.

Both companies believe that combining fully solution printed displays using SmartKem’s high performance organic semiconductor formulations with TFT interlayer materials using Nanosys’s microLED and quantum dot nanoLED technologies should result in the creation of a new class of low power, robust, flexible, lightweight displays.

Initial validation work on the equipment, processes and materials readiness has already occurred.

“We have been working on the latest generation organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) technology for many years and have validated its readiness and availability for enabling the manufacturing of displays using advanced emitters such as microLEDs and quantum dot nanoLEDs from Nanosys,” said Ian Jenks, chairman and CEO of SmartKem.

“We are delighted to work with SmartKem on this novel backplane technology for displays. We believe that display makers are eager to utilize microLEDs and quantum dot nanoLED materials for new display applications in a high- throughput and cost-efficient manner. If our joint development work is successful, will have access to a holistic technology solution that meets their needs,” said Jason Hartlove, CEO and president of Nanosys.
