Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Quantum Dots???

If Quantum Dots are anything like Micro Dots, we should be in for a fun ride.

If you go To InVisiage's site, you'll see they are for real. BUT! Since
they have their eyes on the cellphone market, not high end cameras, i
suspect i'll be stabilizing HD cellphone trancodes in a year or so
....Boujou, anyone?

Quantum dots are semiconductors and can perform functions now done by
traditional silicon-based semiconductors, such as light-to-electrical
conversion (CCD sensors) or electricity- to-light conversion (LEDs).
Their advantages include:

* Tiny size, hence the "dots" moniker

* High quantum efficiency, i.e higher sensitivity in image sensors

* Quantum "tuneability" ; manipulation of their physical
characteristics allows precise tuning of their quantum energy levels,
ie. colors of LEDs

Quantum dots are only now coming to market as they haven't yet been
successfully manufactured in commercial quantities, but they're a Next
Big Thing.
