Nanoco Recognized for Innovation in Sustainable
Plant Growth
Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the
development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other
nanomaterials, announced it has been named a CES 2017 Innovation
Awards Honoree for its cadmium-free CFQD® quantum dot technology
for LED grow lighting and Deep Red CFQD Fine Color Film™ for
sustainable plant growth. Presented at the CES Unveiled New York
event on November 10th and to be showcased at CES 2017, which runs
January 5-8th in Las Vegas, the annual CES Innovation Awards honors
outstanding product design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer
technology products.
“We’re honored to receive this prestigious award for Nanoco’s
cadmium-free CFQD® quantum dot technology and Deep Red CFQD Fine
Color Film™,” said Michael Edelman, chief executive officer of
Nanoco. “As a leader in developing innovative technology, it’s
exciting to be recognized for this breakthrough in grow lighting
that has the potential to greatly impact the world today. Nanoco’s
cadmium-free quantum dots, which are easily fine-tuned to the
desired color by simply adjusting their size, give lighting
manufacturers an efficient and cost-effective way to tailor their
lighting solutions to promote plant growth, with promise to aid in
the looming global food crisis and urbanize food production.”
The Nanoco Deep Red CFQD Fine Color Film™ is the first of its
kind in sustainable plant growth. Free of heavy metals, the film,
when combined with blue and/or near-UV LEDs, maximizes chlorophyll
absorption to promote healthy and improved growth while minimizing
energy consumption. Utilizing the cadmium-free quantum dot film
allows custom individual color selection for customers based on the
particular plant or product being grown, and provides excellent
uniformity of light with greatly reduced heat output compared to
traditional sources, allowing the lights to be placed in proximity
to the plants for maximum yield and plant quality, especially ideal
for vertical grow environments.
Nanoco’s CFQD® quantum dot technology for LED grow lighting and
Deep Red CFQD Fine Color Film™ will be displayed in the Innovation
Showcase at CES 2017 and CES Unveiled Las Vegas, January 2, 2017.
Also at CES 2017, Nanoco will be showcasing its CFQD® quantum dot
technology for display. Quantum dot films enable liquid crystal
displays (LCD) to deliver a technically superior image with a much
higher range of colors than is currently possible from other
commercially available LCD technologies. Nanoco’s CFQD® technology,
free of cadmium and other heavy metals delivers what consumers want
– LCD displays that offer bright, colorful, energy efficient
performance without any safety tradeoffs.
