Merck's access to cadmium free quantum dots is expected to be expected to enter the Samsung supply chain

As Samsung plans to expand its television business, Samsung's potential suppliers will also start manufacturing quantum dot television, which is expected to be supplied to South Korea's big TV plant. German chemical maker Merck has signed an agreement with Britain's nanomaterials to allow Merck to immediately start selling Nanoco's cadmium free quantum dot technology and building its own exclusive production base to meet the rising demand. The agreement is in line with Merck's strategy and will lead to the consolidation of Merck's leading position in the global market and the display of material technology. Cadmium free quantum dots technology can greatly enhance the richness of color and reduce energy consumption at the same time. At the same time, based on the infrastructure of liquid crystal, Samsung is currently using CD - free quantum dots to optimize the watching quality of TV. On the contrary, LG is raging towards the development of OLED technology. Despite the invitation of LG to join the development of the OLED television industry, Samsung has not changed its plan, focusing on quantum dot television or considering that the profits of OLED TV may be affected by considerable cost.
