At the Los Angeles Convention Center, two 85-inch TVs were displayed side by side inside the Nanosys meeting room during Display Week 2024—an annual business-to-business event dedicated to display technology.
One TV featured a mini-LED panel with super quantum dots (SQD), while the other utilized RGB LED backlights, a trend widely anticipated for 2026. Both TVs played identical content simultaneously to demonstrate the differences between the two technologies, with a focus on the advantages of super quantum dots over RGB LED backlights.
According to Nanosys, the SQD TV delivered brighter highlights, deeper blacks, and more accurate colors compared to the RGB LED model. The company emphasized that SQD technology, which uses blue LEDs for backlighting, provides a wider color gamut and better energy efficiency than traditional RGB LED systems.
"Quantum dot TVs are not just keeping up with the latest trends—they’re setting a new standard for picture quality," said a Nanosys spokesperson. "RGB LED may be the buzz for 2026, but our super quantum dot technology proves that innovation in display tech is far from over."
Display Week, organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), serves as a key platform for companies to showcase cutting-edge advancements in display technology. This year’s event drew significant attention to quantum dot innovations, signaling a potential shift in consumer preferences toward higher-performance TVs.
