 Quantum dot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To this end, Quantum Dots have quickly filled in the role, being found to be superior to traditional organic dyes on several counts, one of the most immediately obvious being brightness (owing to the high quantum yield) as well as their stability.
Quantum dots are particularly significant for optical applications due to their theoretically high quantum yield.
In semiconductors, quantum dots are small regions of one material buried in another with a larger band gap.

 Dot pitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dot pitch (sometimes called line pitch or phosphor pitch) is a specification for a computer display that describes the distance between phosphor dots (sub-pixels) or LCD cells of the same color on the inside of a display screen.
Thus, dot pitch is a measure of the size of a triad plus the distance between the triads.
The exact difference between horizontal and diagonal dot pitch varies with the design of the monitor (see Pixel geometry), but a typical entry-level 0.28 mm (diagonal) monitor has a horizontal pitch of 0.24 or 0.25 mm, a good quality 0.26 mm (diagonal) unit a horizontal pitch of 0.22 mm.

 Dot (diacritic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dot above the lowercase i and j (and uppercase İ in Turkish) is not seen as a dot, but rather as part of the character, and the double dots above several Latin letters such as ä, ë etc. are not dots either, but are Umlauts or diaereses.
When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot is usually reserved for the middle dot (·), or to the glyphs 'combining dot above' ( ̇) and 'combining dot below' ( ̣) which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in Eastern European languages and Vietnamese.
In romanizations of Semitic languages, a dot below a consonant is used to indicate the "emphatic version" of that consonant.

Today, dot matrix printers are not commonly used because of the low quality print outs when compared to ink jet printers or other later printer technologies.
The term "DOT matrix" refers to the process of placing dots to form an image; the quality of the image being determined by the dots per inch.

 Diacritic Information, Facts, Resources
A diacritical mark or diacritic, sometimes called an accent mark, is a mark added to a letter to alter a word's pronunciation or to distinguish between similar words.
The main usage of a diacritic is to change the phonetic meaning of the letter, but the term is also used in a more general sense of changing the meaning of the letter or even the whole word.
Diacritics can be used for emphasis (érg koud for very cold) or for disambiguation between the numeral one (één appel, one apple) and the indefinite article (een appel, an apple).

 NIST Research on Quantum Systems for the ‘Next’ Information Age
A quantum dot, when excited, acts like an atom and thus emits a photon with a well-characterized frequency that can be used to create a “photon turnstile,” which eventually will be used in a quantum cryptography system on the NIST test-bed.
The “quantum dot” systems also could be used to better understand electrical processes in these systems and, ultimately, may help produce the next generation of optical devices, such as laser diodes, photodetectors, and optical amplifiers.
For quantum communications applications, in which data are transmitted in the form of single photons (“flying qubits”), NIST is developing a measurement infrastructure for characterizing the performance of quantum components and systems.
