2023年5月25日，全球領先的英國量子點上市公司Nanoco Technologies Limited（Nanoco）和國內外著名的量子點公司廣東普加福光電科技有限公司（普加福）分別在其各自官方網站上發布了一份關于雙方達成專利許可和戰略合作協議的新聞稿，內容如下：
Nanoco和普加福非常榮幸地對外宣布：雙方達成了一份關于雙方特殊專利許可和戰略合作的協議。根據此協議，Nanoco和普加福將結成聯盟關系，合作開發下一代的環境友好型量子點產品（材料），將用于如下但不僅限于：新型先進顯示技術、醫療、新能源、防偽、傳感和智能照明等各種應用端領域。
此次合作將為Nanoco提供一個向中國市場供應其CFQD?量子點的機會，中國市場未來的技術和產品發展重心正從常規二六族量子點轉向更環保的三五族類量子點產品。普加福將其專有的樹脂、薄膜和封裝技術，結合Nanoco在全球都受強有力專利保護的QD產品，可以為普加福現有服務的中國顯示市場客戶提供更多的產品和解決方案。兩家公司確信通過此次的戰略合作是強強聯手，結合了雙方在各自業內現有技術、材料和設備的各自優勢。這種獨特的產品設計將使中國的主要顯示公司能夠為本地客戶提供更多環保和安全的產品和解決方案選擇。本次合作也可以幫助中國顯示公司在海外銷售產品時，而不必擔心環境和消費者保護法規的進一步收緊，例如歐洲的有害物質限制（RoHS）法規。
Nanoco首席執行官Brian Tenner評論道:
“Nanoco公司的知識產權和CFQD?量子點在顯示應用市場是一組獨特的結合，并通過最近專利戰得到了充分的論證，未來將是集團的重要價值來源。集團戰略也是以提供量產的商業化納米材料為其目標。廣東普加福其特有的樹脂、薄膜體系和涂布能力結合我們的量子點材料，這個合作對于 Nanoco來說是高度互補的合作伙伴關系。”
“根據該協議，我們將能夠向中國市場分銷我們的CFQD?量子點產品。中國市場對于集團來說是一個越來越有價值的市場，Nanoco多種類的納米材料將涵蓋潛在終端用戶的諸多應用。”
普加福公司首席執行官李博士評論道:
“該協議標志著Nanoco和普加福做為光電子領域的領先企業在合作發展方面邁出了重要的一步。此次合作將使Nanoco擴大其在中國市場的影響力，并為客戶提供更加環境友好型的產品。在整合兩家公司各自優勢資源的前提下，雙方可以開發出創新的產品和技術方案，給現有行業帶來新的革新和機會。我們相信在變革時代到來之時，這一協議必將結出豐碩的合作成果。我們期待各方合作伙伴加入到我們的聯盟當中，一起為客戶提供更加友好和多彩的產品。”

About Nanoco Technologies Limited
Nanoco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanoco Group PLC, (LSE: NANO) harnesses the power of nano-materials. Nano-materials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm. Nano-materials have a range of useful properties, including optical and electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of nano-material that have size-dependent optical and electronic properties. The Group produces quantum dots and other nano-materials. Within the sphere of quantum dots, the Group exploits different characteristics of the quantum dots to target different performance criteria that are attractive to specific markets or end-user applications such as the Display, Sensor and Electronics markets. An interesting property of quantum dots is their absorption spectrum. Nanoco's HEATWAVE? quantum dots can be tuned to absorb light at different wavelengths across the near-infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for applications including image sensors. Another interesting property of quantum dots is photoluminescence: the emission of longer wavelength light upon excitation by light of a shorter wavelength. The colour of light emitted depends on the particle size. Nanoco's CFQD?quantum dots are free of cadmium and other toxic heavy metals, and can be tuned to emit light at different wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for a wide range of applications including displays, lighting and biological imaging. Nanoco was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Runcorn, UK, with a US subsidiary,Nanoco Inc., in Concord, MA. Nanoco continues to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio generated both by its own innovation engine, as well as through acquisition.
Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of theLondon Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further information please visit: www.nanocotechnologies.com.
