The
secret to our product is in the nature of Carbon Nanotubes. These
remarkable structures allow us, through our proprietary purification
and coating
processes, to create unique conductive structures. Our conductive
Nanotubes have roughly a 1000:1 aspect ratio, which gives us the
ability to apply a very small amount of the material to achieve good
conductivity, such a small amount that when applied to transparent
films it does not significantly degrade light transmission.
Flexibility/Durability :
Thin layers of flexible conductive carbon structures allow for truly
flexible transparent conductive films.
Color :
Neutral Optical Density (Not Yellow.)
Printing Capability :
Our conductive 'inks' can be applied in patterns using
modified conventional
printing methods.
Cost :
Low
temperature roll-to-roll coating processes not requiring
vacuum processing are inherently
low cost.
Availability :
The Indium component of ITO is becoming a scarce commodity.
Carbon is one of the
most abundant elements on Earth.
Application :
LCD/OLED
Displays,Touch Screens ,EL Lamps ,Photovoltaics ,
Flexible Displays

Display Applications
Every time you
use a laptop computer, cellular phone, PDA or ATM, you
are viewing information through transparent electrodes
or wires. Our Carbon Nanotube Technology (patents
pending) provides a new and unique way to provide
flexible, transparent, conductive films and circuits for
these applications.
Most electronic displays have as
vital components one or more layers of transparent conductors. These needs
are currently often addressed in displays through the use of sputtered
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) conductors on glass or plastic film. For many
emerging display technologies, however, ITO can be an inadequate solution,
involving unfavorable trade-offs.
