EIKOS’ INVISICON® CARBON NANOTUBE TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE COATINGS WIN AWARD FROM R&D MAGAZINE
Eikos’ transparent
conductive coating technology, branded Invisicon® has a broad range of
applications in the electronics field, including flat panel displays, OLED
lighting, and solar cells. In each case,
Invisicon® acts as a superior alternative to traditional
transparent conductive layers, including Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
The inaugural Micro/Nano
25 Competition, held by Micro/Nano Newsletter,
resulted in Eikos’ Invisicon® coating being found
among the most innovative and groundbreaking technologies of 2006. Invisicon® also received an accolade as an
environmentally-friendly material in R&D Magazine’s 43rd annual R&D 100
Awards in 2005.
According to Joe Piché,
founder and president of Eikos, “R&D magazine is one of the most
prestigious publications in the research area and it is quite an honor to be
recognized two years consecutively for our technology. We’re excited about the many applications
currently in development that our technology can enhance.”
Invisicon® is
featured in the July 2006 issue of Micro/Nano
Newsletter as well as the August 2006 issue of R&D Magazine.
