I saw the future at CES 2023, and I wasn’t even planning on going. When Nanosys, a company whose quantum dot technology<\/span> is in millions of TVs, offered to show me a top-secret prototype of a next-generation display, I booked a hotel immediately. <\/p>\n

What got me so excited? Electroluminescent quantum dots. It’s the next-generation tech that will join and possibly replace LCD and OLED<\/span> for phones and TVs. It promises improved picture quality, energy savings and manufacturing efficiency. A simpler structure makes these displays theoretically so easy to produce, they could usher in a sci-fi world of inexpensive screens on everything from eyeglasses to windscreens and windows. <\/p>\n

The prototype I saw at CES wasn’t simple, however. Inside the Nanosys suite at the Westgate hotel, a short walk from the convention center, tables against the walls showed different TVs and monitors featuring quantum dots. And there on one table, farthest from the door, was the 6-inch prototype I had come to see. A maze of wires connected it to multi-tiered circuit boards. It was impossibly flat, like a vibrantly glowing piece of paper. A gallery of colorful nature images cycled through on screen, the de-facto standard content for pre-production display demos. <\/p>\n

It felt like I was staring at something from the future, because, basically, I was. It’s so cutting-edge, Nanosys said I could only show a blurred image and couldn’t take any video. They told me their as-yet-unnamed manufacturing partner is going to be talking more about the technology in a few months, however, so hopefully we’ll learn more soon. In the meantime, here’s what I can tell you.<\/p>\n
