|Many expect that quantum dot display technology can compete or even replace liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in near future, including the desktop and notebook computer spaces and televisions. These initial applications alone represent more than a $8-billion addressable market by 2023 for quantum dot-based components. Other than display applications, several companies are manufacturing QD-LED light bulbs; these promise greater energy efficiency and longer lifetime.{{cite news|url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/quantum-dots-market-research-report-2018---global-forecast-to-2023-300657494.html|title=Quantum Dots Market Research Report 2018 - Global Forecast to 2023|publisher=Cision|date=June 1, 2018|access-date=February 5, 2019}}
