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.
