May 6, 2010... NNCrystal US Corporation will be unveiling new phosphor technology at Lightfair International 2010. The technology is the company's Qshift Coral* and Qshift Lucid* colloidal phosphor. NNCrystal, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hangzhou Najing Technology company, and an exclusive licensee of advanced materials synthesis technology and know-how from NN-Labs LLC, produces colloidal nanocrytals (quantum dots). The company's Qshift Coral technology uses conventional colloidal nanocrystals (quantum dots) to finely tune and precisely control the color of the light output. The company claims that its Qshift Coral technology makes the lighting warmer and improves light quality while reducing its energy consumption for the same lumen output compared with traditional phosphor-based warm white lighting.

The company's other technology Qshift Lucid is a clear, quantum dot-based color converter that is a not have heavy metal. The company says it is alternative for existing rare-earth phosphor materials. The company claims that it offers superior optical performance and greater design flexibility while eliminating the use of toxic materials such as cadmium and mercury.
