Even if this is extended, in response to manufacturer’s lobbying pressure, an alternative to cadmium QDs will be forthcoming which currently to my knowledge, could only be 2 sources, Nanoco's Cadmium Free QDs and Dotz Nano GQDs. In that instance our GQDs, in my opinion may have a tremendous effect on the international Quantum Dot display market”. “Dotz Nano is working closely with first tier and display OEM companies in the evaluation and testing of our GQDs for use in the display market.” “We will continue to notify our shareholders on our commercialization process as material events occur.”
