EIKOS CEO JOE PICHE
TO ADDRESS WORLD NANO-ECONOMIC CONGRESS
IN SINGAPORE ON NANOTECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
FOR DISPLAYS
FRANKLIN, MA,
Oct. 8, 2004 – Eikos
Inc., a developer and licensor of highly transparent carbon nanotube (CNT) inks
for conductive coatings and circuits, today announced that CEO Joe Piche will
address the prestigious World Nano-Economic Congress
in Singapore on October 13.
Piche will
discuss the various nanotechnology solutions being applied to displays and
their stages of development.
“The Conference
in Singapore is an ideal forum for us to detail how nanotech, and specifically
our InvisiconTM technology, will offer cost- efficient manufacturing
alternatives to materials now used in display technology,” Piche explains. “I look forward to this forum to expand our
network of partnerships with Asian companies.”
Eikos currently has agreements with Itochu and Takiron to develop
specific applications and is planning to establish manufacturing facilities in
Asia.
Eikos Inc. is a
developer and licensor of highly transparent carbon nanotube (CNT) inks for
conductive coatings and circuits for use in flat panel displays, OLED lighting,
solar cells, smart windows and other established markets. The company is scheduled to begin production
of its transparent, conductive CNT coatings by year-end.
Eikos’ patented
InvisiconTM transparent
conductors (‘nanowires’) will enable high volume, low cost production of a
thinner, more flexible and more durable conductive coating technology that will
displace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) as the industry standard.
Recently, Eikos
Invisicon technology achieved better contrast and brighter display characteristics
as compared to Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated materials in preliminary testing
for one of its partners.
