They call the result Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF).

According to them, your colorful screen isn’t showing you nearly what it could be. By a rather large margin; they claim you’re viewing a gamut only 20-35% of what the human eye can discern; they claim to raise that number to 60%.

BMV080: World’s Smallest Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Liaisan Khismatova from Bosch Sensortec and I explore the benefits of the Bosch BMV080, the world’s smallest particulate matter (PM) sensor. They also investigate the fanless innovation at the heart of the BMV080 Particulate Matter Sensor and how the silent and maintenance-free operation and ultra-compact size of this sensor makes it a game changer for next generation air quality monitoring applications.
