June 18, 2004 – Evident Technologies is teaming up with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to develop white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on quantum dot nanomaterials.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, created by the New York State Legislature to achieve energy cost savings and environmental benefits with new products, processes and services, has provided money for the project. The goal is to produce white LEDs with improved energy cost and environmental efficiencies over halogen or incandescent lights, according to a news release.
Troy, N.Y.-based Evident Technologies commercially launched quantum dot composites earlier this year.
