Nanosys Mum on ‘TrueQ’ Trademark, Will Demo Photo-Emissive QDs at Display Week

Nanosys will use the Display Week 2017 conference in Los Angeles to showcase its “next-gen” photo-emissive quantum-dot technology, both in show-floor demos and in a paper to be presented at the event’s technical symposium, Jeff Yurek, Nanosys director-marketing and investor relations, emailed us Monday. Nanosys showcased its photo-emissive quantum-dot innovation at CES, trumpeting it as a color filter replacement technology that’s capable of boosting a TV’s energy efficiency by a factor of three and is adaptable with multiple display architectures. Yurek declined comment on the company’s commercialization plans for “TrueQ,” a name for which it applied in February to register as a trademark. Patent and Trademark Office records show. Nanosys has a recent practice of applying to trademark terms it formally debuts soon after at Display Week or other industry conferences. On May 20, for example, Nanosys applied at PTO to register the name “Hyperion,” and days later used Display Week in San Francisco to announce Hyperion as a new quantum-dot material system “that represents a significant development breakthrough in unlocking the market for displays” meeting the BT.2020 wide color gamut standard. Display Week 2017 opens May 21 at the Los Angeles Convention Center for a six-day run.
