Proposed amendments (subject to ratification) to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) by the European Commission recommend a two-year more restrictive extension to the exemption of cadmium in quantum dot displays, subsequent to which the use of any cadmium in electronic devices sold within the EU will be banned. The use of cadmium in lighting products will be prohibited with immediate effect. The judgement has little impact on our investment thesis, as we believe that commercial factors for cadmium-free adoption are already strong.
