Cima and Toray to Collaborate on Nanotech for Plasma TVs

Filed in archive Business on February 17, 2009

Cima NanoTech last week announced plans to work with Japan's Toray Industries to launch a nanotech film product for plasma TVs.

"Cima NanoTech, a six-year-old startup that has developed next-generation transparent conductive coating material, has been working with Toray for three years to commercialize its self-aligning technology," writes EE Times' George Leopold. "Cima's patented technologies aim to allow silver nanoparticles to self-assemble into transparent film coatings. The company claims its thin films provide better electronic resistance and flexibility than current technologies like indium tin oxide-based coatings."

"Cima NanoTech's film will be marketed to electronics makers, who would use the product in place of a chemical-laden and costly manufacturing process," explains Bizjournals' Katharine Grayson.
