First Solar and UbiQD Sign a Long-Term Quantum Dot Supply Contract
First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is among the 13 Best Electrical Infrastructure Stocks to Invest In. UbiQD announced a multi-year exclusive agreement to deliver its unique quantum dot (QD) nanotechnology to First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) on July 9, 2025. A solar panel farm with an orange sky illuminating the vast landscape. The partnership facilitates the incorporation of QD materials into First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR)'s thin-film bifacial photovoltaic modules and is the first high-volume QD supply agreement outside the display industry. Furthermore, the businesses extended their research and development partnership with the goal of maximizing the effectiveness of solar panels for utility-scale applications. According to UbiQD, manufacturing will increase to more than 100 metric tons per year. CEO Hunter McDaniel described the agreement as an important turning point for the US quantum dot business. Markus Gloeckler, CTO of First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR), noted how QD might significantly improve the efficiency of bifacial modules. The collaboration follows UbiQD's $20 million Series B fundraising in April 2025, which funds the building of a sizable QD manufacturing plant in New Mexico, promoting material efficiency and indigenous solar innovation. While we acknowledge the potential of FSLR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Samsung QLED TVs Earn ‘Real Quantum Dot Display' Certification From TÜV Rheinland
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its latest lineup of QLED TVs has received 'Real Quantum Dot Display' certification from TÜV Rheinland, an international certification organization based in Germany. The certification verifies that Samsung's QLED TVs meet global standards for quantum dot display structure, reinforcing the company's technological leadership in the premium TV market. The certification confirms that Samsung QLED TVs comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62595-1-6 standard, which defines the application of quantum dot (QD) light converting unit combined with blue light sources for standard QLED displays. As part of the certification process, TÜV Rheinland analyzed the light spectrum produced by Samsung QLED TVs and confirmed that it displayed clear separation between red, green, and blue—an important marker of color accuracy. This distinction is enabled by quantum dots and may not be as pronounced in displays using alternative materials, which can sometimes cause color mixing or reduced clarity. The results demonstrate how Samsung's use of quantum dots contributes to delivering vivid and precise color expression. With the latest certification, Samsung's QLED TVs are officially validated as true quantum dot displays, further differentiating Samsung's offerings and strengthening consumer trust in premium television technologies. 'This certification objectively validates that Samsung QLED TVs deliver true quantum dot performance built to international standards,' said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. 'We will continue to drive innovation and strengthen consumer trust as we lead the premium TV market.' The series that have received certification include the Neo QLED 8K (QN990F, QN950F), Neo QLED 4K (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, QN70F), and QLED 4K (Q8F, Q7F, Q6F) series. Quantum dots are ultra-fine nanomaterials, tens of thousands of times smaller than a human hair, renowned for their ability to reproduce precise and vivid colors depending on light wavelength. The method by which quantum dots are integrated into display panels has become a key indicator for evaluating technological advancement in the premium TV segment. Separately, Samsung's quantum dot technology has also been recognized by global testing organization Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) for its excellence in cadmium-free design—an environmentally conscious approach that eliminates the use of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal known to pose risks to human health and the environment.
