In the instant case, no such terminals/connection points are present. Therefore, quantum dots are not mounted but embedded. As the applicant itself submitted that in optical sheet high color quantum dots are embedded in polymer sheet and then encapsulated between barrier film therefore, quantum dots cannot be said as mounted.
