AUSTIN, TX and STUTTGART, GERMANY -- The Universitaet Stuttgart, and Nano-Proprietary, Inc. a subsidiary Applied Nanotech, Inc. announced a significant advancement in the application of carbon nanotubes for the flexible electronics industry.
These devices are at the core of displays, electronic circuits, sensors, memory chips, and other applications that are transitioning from rigid substrates, such as silicon and glass, to flexible substrates.
"The collaboration with the Universitaet Stuttgart is very productive. Their expertise and facilities for microelectronic processes are well-known and are very suitable for our need to transition from an idea to a proof of concept," said Dr. Zvi Yaniv, Chief Executive Officer of Applied Nanotech.
"Our cooperation with Applied Nanotech, Inc. is an excellent and very positive experience. Their extensive CNT TFT process know how was instrumental for kick-starting the CNT TFT work in our lab, which is an ideal extension of our pre-existing CNT-TCF efforts," said Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Fruehauf, Chair of Display Technology University of Stuttgart.
