Hayward, Calif., — May 31, 2015. With the recent partnership with Kimoto of Japan, the acquisition of Aiden Co., Ltd of Korea, and a joint development with Nissha Printing Co., Ltd., C3Nano has positioned itself as the performance leader in TCFs. Now C3Nano will reveal further announcements and provide a product demo during Silicon Valley’s 2015 SID Tradeshow.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the Silicon Valley company, coordinate an interview with CEO Cliff Morris* and visit booth 1420 for a demo during Display Week.
- March 2015: Partnership with Kimoto – the global market leader in roll-to-roll, hard-coated films for the display and touch screen panel industry.
- April 2015: Acquisition of Aiden Co., Asia’s largest silver nanowire manufacturer.
- May 2015: Joint development with Nissha Printing Co., Ltd. of next generation of silver nanowire (AgNW) transparent inks.
- May 26, 2015: (TBA) New partnership to enable a new class of flexible, more intuitive touch sensor applications, even in large panel and curved displays.
Performance Leadership
Typical applications for C3Nano’s ActiveGrid™ products are touch sensors, OLED lighting, OLED displays, EMI shielding, smart windows, E-paper, LCDs and solar cells. One of the keys to ActiveGrid’s performance is C3Nano’s proprietary NanoGlue™ technology. NanoGlue fuses AgNWs into a high-conductive grid. The net effect lowers sheet resistance while maintaining superior optical transparency. This gives consumer electronics manufacturers the design freedom to work with bendable, flexible form-factors without compromising on the clarity consumers have come to expect in touch-screen displays.
A May 2015 survey by Touch Display Research found that the adoption of silver nanowire and metal mesh are accelerating and forecasts ITO-replacement market will grow to 10.9 billion by 2022.
