SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Cambrios Technologies Corporation introduced today that the company��s
ClearOhm? silver nanowire coating materials have been combined with
Hitachi Chemical��s photosensitive film technology to develop an
innovative, very highly see-thorugh conductive film that can be
transferred to substrates such as glass, polycarbonate and PET
video. Hitachi Chemical plans to commence production of the flick later this
year while using the aim of producing major volumes by middle 2012 to meet
the increasing demand for transparent conductive films for touch cells
for smart phones and pc tablets.
The flexible film is going to be available in a wide range of conductivities
with page resistance of 10-250 Ohm/sq. along with total transmission,
such as substrate, of 85-91 percent. Hi-res patterns can be
made employing a simple light publicity and develop method, eliminating
costly process steps such as applying avoid, etching, and draining.
The film may be used to generate highly flexible and invisible patterns
applicable to standard projective capacitive touch panels and also
emerging designs on steep and 3D floors.
��Hitachi Chemical has been a excellent partner with great market
foresight,�� reported Cambrios CEO, Dr. Erina R. Knapp. ��Indium tin oxide
(ITO) continues to be the prevailing transparent conductive picture used in touch
screen programs for quite some time, but it necessitates an expensive
and cumbersome sputtering deposit process. Hitachi Chemical��s film
allows a great easy-to-use transfer process that is definitely standard for additional
electronic materials such as photoresist. Cambrios ClearOhm? content is
wet-processed and Hitachi Chemical like saw the potential for them to help
create an easy to use, hugely innovative product just for this market.��
Cambrios ClearOhm? material delivers simpler patterning, less expensive
deposition possibilities and, because of its mobility, can improve yield by
comparison to ITO. Hitachi Chemical��s transferable translucent
conductive film is available in spin form so it is appropriate for
roll-to-roll processes and end users can create transparent electrode
patterns using only a simplified photolithography approach. Manufacturers
can consistently obtain better transmission as well as resistance balance as compared to
is possible with ITO.
The solution will also give producers a greener, additional environmentally
friendly option to a patterning process for ITO flick by eliminating
the cost in addition to waste associated with the by using chemicals such as
photoresist, etchant, as well as stripper. Cambrios and Hitachi Chemical see
potential for applying this product in market segments beyond smart
phones and also tablet PCs in equipment such as OLEDs, e-paper displays along with
photovoltaics.
About Cambrios
Cambrios is an electronic digital materials company which develops proprietary,
competitive merchandise using nanotechnology. Cambrios implements the novel
technology to de-stress electronics manufacturing operations, improve
end-product performance and also identify ways to please unmet industry
needs. The company��s first product is ClearOhm? covering material that
produces the transparent, conductive film by way of wet processing. ClearOhm?
films get improved properties by comparison to currently employed materials
such as indium jar oxide and other transparent conductive oxides.
Applications of ClearOhm? coating material incorporate transparent
electrodes for effect screens, liquid crystal demonstrates, e-paper, OLED
devices, and thin film photovoltaics.
ClearOhm? is a signed up trademark of Cambrios Engineering Corporation.
