Cambrios Technologies Corporation announced that it will receive a 2010 Emerging Applications Award by RadTech at the upcoming RadTech 2010 conference. Cambrios received the award for its UV curable, coated nanostructured system for use as a higher performing alternative to sputtered transparent conductive oxides, having application in touch panels, inorganic and organic thin film photovoltaics, OLED lighting, as well as various types of displays.
Cambrios manufacturers ClearOhm coating material, which can be deposited by a variety of wet coating processes to produce a transparent, conductive film. To date, the dominant technology for transparent conductive films has been thin films of indium tin oxide, or ITO. However, ITO has several major performance problems such as poor transmission, yellow color and low conductivity, which can pose major difficulties for high performance display devices. For emerging flexible electronics applications, the brittleness of ITO, and its tendency to crack under mild strain, is particularly limiting. Cambrios’ ClearOhm transparent conductor, which includes a protective polymer overcoat that is cured by UV light, is a robust and reliable material that can serve as a direct replacement for transparent conductive oxides and allow for novel device designs that require a high degree of flexibility or 3-dimensional shapes.
The award was presented to Cambrios at the RadTech 2010 special awards dinner in Baltimore, MD on May 25, 2010 where Cambrios’ manager of materials development Teresa Ramos will present more information on ClearOhm Transparent Conductor: A Higher Performing, Wet Processable Alternative to Conductive Oxides.
