Cambrios Technologies Corporation's ClearOhm transparent conductive film has been incorporated into the touch sensor of a leading smart phone. The touch sensor and touch module solution were developed by Nissha Printing Co., Ltd. of Japan and Synaptics Incorporated, respectively, and mark the first commercial implementation of Cambrios ClearOhm in place of indium tin oxide (ITO).
"For decades, the only transparent electrode material used for high quality display-related applications was the ceramic material ITO," said Michael Knapp, Cambrios president and CEO. "ClearOhm material is based on metal nano-wires, not a ceramic like ITO. It makes use of a completely different, highly manufacturable material for creating transparent, conductive films. ClearOhm material's deployment as part of this phone marks the first step towards its adoption as a higher performance and lower cost alternative material for consumer electronic devices."
"Cambrios first attracted my attention in 2008, and I have enjoyed working with them to align their development efforts with our advanced touch systems design and engineering activities," said Bob Mackey, senior scientist with Synaptics. "Cambrios' development efforts embody world class research and development methodologies, and ClearOhm material was heavily studied and characterized with real world conditions and manufacturing methodologies in mind."
