"The brightness of the best LCD monitor on the market today is 500 candelas per square metre and the brightness of room light is about 2000 cd/m2," says Andrew Wang of Ocean NanoTech in Fayetteville, Arkansas, which developed the quantum dots. "Our QDLEDs have reached 9000 cd/m2 in brightness, which makes them the brightest in the world."

Thanks, Scott. I had not heard of quantum dot LEDs. I was surprised by the statement that they degrade after 300 hours. It didn't say by what fraction they degraded, but 300 hours doesn't sound commercially viable for many applications.
