SouthWest NanoTechnologies Introduces AgeNT™ Transparent Conductor System at SID Display Week, Booth #543

Norman, OK | Posted on May 28th, 2015

AgeNT uses two key components, supplied by SWeNT: 1) unpatterned silver (Ag) nanowires coated onto clear plastic film; 2) carbon nanotube (NT) ink. To create patterned transparent conductors, all one needs to do is print the NT ink on top of the Ag and then “erase” the unwanted Ag using a wet-wiping device (also supplied by SWeNT). The resulting patterned transparent conductors are a hybrid of silver nanowires and carbon nanotubes, with compelling optoelectronic properties – sheet resistance of 50 ohm/sq. @ 95% visible light transmittance (not including substrate) has been demonstrated.

Silver nanowires offer very low sheet resistance and high visible light transmittance, but patterning can be expensive and requires the use of lasers or photolithographic etching. Carbon nanotubes offer low-cost patterning (via printing), as well as other advantages (such as low haze, neutral color, stretchability and environmental stability). However, sheet resistance is too high for many display and touch sensor applications.

“Considerable synergy is created by combining silver nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a clever way, which we have achieved with AgeNT,” explains Dave Arthur, CEO of SouthWest NanoTechnologies. “The wet-wiping process requires minimal equipment cost and uses no harsh chemicals. We also expect the removed silver can be recycled, which can further reduce cost and minimize waste.”

SWeNT will demonstrate samples and further explain how AgeNT works at the Society for Information Display Conference and Exhibition (booth 543), June 2-4 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. To arrange an interview at SID, please contact Andrew Lavin, president of A. Lavin Communications at or 516-353-2505.

SWeNT produces carbon nanotube materials at its factory located in Norman, Oklahoma. SWeNT also offers process support and application development services through its partner, Chasm Technologies, located near Boston, Massachusetts.

About Display Week

Display Week is the premier worldwide event showcasing advances in electronic display technology. Electronic displays by themselves make up a 100 billion dollar industry, and more importantly serve as the manner in which a majority of consumer electronics differentiate themselves. The Display Week Exhibition provides a venue where display technology and product providers can meet with engineers, designers, and business development decision makers driving the integration of new display technology into products. History has shown that the display innovations that first appear at Display Week are integrated into leading products within months to a few years. www.displayweek.org
