Quantum-dot LEDs have theoretical performance limits that meet or exceed all other display technologies. Today, phosphorescent OLEDs have the best demonstrated efficiency of any nonreflective display technology, but QD-LEDs have the potential to exceed OLED luminous efficiency by more than 20%, reducing power consumption significantly.

I've taken out that misleading phrase about OLEDs, which, you're right, are much more power-efficient. (Though I have heard that the quantum-dot approach still beats out OLEDs on color purity). @michael: thanks for the correction.
