Carbon Nanotubes for Printed Electronics

Paul Drzaic has over 25 years of experience in the development of novel flat panel displays, flexible and printed electronics, and RFID devices. Previously, he has held the positions of Vice President for Advanced Development at Alien Technology Corporation, Director of Technology at E Ink Corporation, and Principal Scientist at Raychem Corporation. Dr. Drzaic is the recipient of national awards from the American Chemical Society and R&D Magazine for his work on electronic paper technology, and the author of 51 US patents, 19 journal articles, and the book Liquid Crystal Dispersions. Dr. Drzaic is active in professional societies, and is currently President-Elect for the Society for Information Display and is Chair of the Editorial Board of the MRS Bulletin, the monthly journal of the Materials Research Society. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Stanford University, and a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame.

Unidym is a leader in the development, manufacture, and application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for electronic devices. Unidym's CNT-based transparent conductive film delivers both process simplification and mechanical robustness for touch screens and display applications. When CNT-based films are compared to current ITO/IZO transparent electrode materials, Unidym's products offer valuable features such as uniform transmission across the entire visible light spectrum, mechanical flexibility, reduced reflectivity and are more cost effective to manufacture. In addition to its product applications, Unidym has an expansive IP portfolio, with over 200 foreign and domestic patents and patent applications on CNTs and their applications.
