Quantum Dots developer Nanosys is reportedly in talks to go public via a merger with a SPAC company called GigInternational1. If the deal goes through, Nanosys will gain a valuation of around $1 billion USD.

Nanosys has several lines of QD products, including one that is heavy metal free. The company says it has the world's largest quantum dots production capacity, it lists major display makers as customers and it has shipped materials to over 35 million devices to date.

A new report from Korea says that Samsung Electronics aims to ship its first QD-OLED TV in the first half of 2022. The first TVs will be 55" and 65" in size, and these will be demonstrated in CES 2022 (in January). Later in 2022 the company will also introduce 70-inch QD-OLED TVs.

Samsung Display has already started to produce panel prototypes, and is on track to start mass production in Q3 2021.
