Samsung/Unidym extend joint development of carbon nanotube display

Many of the proposals for carbon nanotubes implementation in display applications have taken advantage of nanotubes capability to act as electron emitting materials for field emission displays. An alternative use of carbon nanotubes for displays is as a replacement for the transparent electrode materials such as ITO used in liquid crystal display manufacturing. A collaboration between Samsung and Unidym, both of which are industry leaders in carbon nanotube manufacturing and applications, seems to be directed in this second direction.  The use of carbon nanotubes as transparent electrodes may be a strong step toward the development of flexible displays useful for E-paper under development by companies such as E-Ink and Sipix Imaging.
