Under the new agreement, Unidym will focus on depositing its CNT inks on color filter glass and the thin film transistor backplane for rigid displays. The primary advantages of Unidym's products in glass-based liquid crystal displays are lower cost of materials and deposition, increased yield, and elimination of the acid patterning process associated with ITO.
