Evident Technologies, Inc. is a nanotechnology manufacturing and application company that draws upon semiconductor nanocrystal expertise to develop sophisticated, cost effective, innovative devices and products. The firm's products have applicability in biotechnology, optical switching, and computing, telecommunications, energy and other fields. Semiconductor are materials that conducts electricity when stimulated or, when unstimulated, is an insulator. Traditional semiconductors are the building blocks for most modern technologies, but they do have a shortcoming. They lack versatility. Their optical and electronic properties can be difficult and costly to adjust because their electronic structure can be changed only through complex alterations of their structure. Quantum dots are different. They are semiconductor particles so small that approximately 4,000,000 quantum dot nanocrystals can fit across the face of a penny. And their small size allows their fundamental properties to be tuned or changed, overcoming many of the limitations of traditional semiconductors and opening up a world of product possibilities. Evident has developed an advanced form of quantum dots - EviDot® - which can be used to enable next-generation products across many markets.* the size and shape of the quantum dots are controlled through the careful selection of compound semiconductors and other elements, along with atom-by-atom growth; * coatings and surfaces are perfected to make our quantum dots more durable and offer better performance: o proprietary quantum dot shelling methods remove surface defects - adding strength to the quantum dot and prevents performance degradation. The engineering of the quantum dot surface also creates compatibility with a range of matrix materials, organic solvents, and water. Evident incorporate EviDot products into polymers, epoxies, silicones, sol-gels, and oxides; and link EviDot products to secondary particles, molecules, and surfaces, making them compatible with common chemistries and easily used in a wide range of applications. the firm has the capability to manufacture commercial quantities of superior quality EviDots that emit from deep blue at 490 nanometers through the visible spectrum and into the infrared; CdSe, InGaP, CIGSe, CIGS, and PbS collectively have tunable emissions from 490nm [blue] to 2300nm [infrared]. Evident is developing other semiconductor nanoparticles that may be tuned into the mid infrared (3-5 micron emission) or potentially into the blue/UV region
