TV Display Screen New Technology

As pictures get bigger, the quality of display screens has not improved as fast. New technology though is repalcing LCD lights with something called "quantum dots".  These quantum dots allow for a bigger gamut of color by producing a clearer red and green in a more efficient way than LED and LCD lights do. The company manufacturing it, 3M , claims that they it is much more cost efficient and they are still able to us LED lights in the manufacturing process. It's interesting to me that the quality of film (i.e. how many frames/sec) is so important, however the technology displaying the film is also as important. If the two are not growing at the same speed the quality will always be less than what it could be. I enjoyed this article since it relates to our recent discussion about image compression, and color depths based on the RGB color set.
