Switzerland-based Avantama, a leader in high-tech materials for electronics, has brought its perovskite QD (pQD) technology to “market-ready” level. Avantama's CEO, Dr. Samuel Halim states that reliability (as QD film) was confirmed by leading display supply chain partners, the pQD production has been established in-house and the pQD film production has been established at a leading Asian film maker.
Now, as part of a move to bring Avantama’s pQD market-ready technology into the hands of a company with market and customer access, Ocean Tomo Transactions (a part of J.S. Held) will be representing Avantama in the sale of its pQD IP portfolio and related know-how and manufacturing assets.
Avantama has developed a global patent portfolio of more than 220 assets covering innovations, including processes, compositions, formulations, films, and devices for the commercialization of semiconductor nanoparticle and quantum dot inks and films, essential for perovskite solar cells, SWIR sensors and LCD, QD-OLED, QD-microLED, and QD-EL displays.
The new owner will be able to make the decision of whether Avantama's pQD operations will stay in Switzerland or will be moved elsewhere. The remaining Avantama will, after the completion of this process, go on to with its operations and will ensure it can fulfill the growing commercial need for avamox materials for applications such as OPVs, SWIR sensors, perovskite solar cells and QD-EL displays.
