'In the past few years, we have been deeply cultivating in the field of nano-silver wire with each of our innovative materials. We have formed strong advantages and complementarities in different applications and markets. Now we are empowering each other to open up technology and hope to achieve a win-win situation.' Nofi Nano Chairman Pan Kefei said.
Regarding the breakthrough of domestic nano silver conductive film, Pankfei opened the door: Once, whether it is glass or thin film touch panel, ITO is the mainstream conductive material, but ITO material is hard and brittle, after many large bends The sharp increase in resistance will invalidate the touch function. Therefore, finding a new technology to replace the downstream ITO conductive glass has become the focus of the industry.
Nano-silver wire is coated with nano-silver ink material on plastic or glass substrate, and then use laser or yellow light engraving technology to form a transparent conductive film with nano-scale silver wire conductive network pattern. Thickness is only human hair One ten-thousandth, but nano-silver can achieve a higher transmittance, and can undergo 100,000 times a large bend, applied to the surface display has obvious advantages. The use of nano-silver as a conductive material of nano-silver film, is considered To subvert the future of semiconductor materials.
After returning from Silicon Valley, Pan Kefei, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Princeton University, took a look at Jiangsu's good entrepreneurial environment and technological innovation atmosphere. He founded 'Nofi Nano' in Suzhou to foster the development, production and application of nano silver. From nano silver wire The synthesis and purification of materials, the preparation of coating inks, and the coating of membranes were all completed by the team. Nearly half of the equipment in the new production line was also designed independently, and the construction of independent intellectual property rights was completed. The core synthesis part of silver materials, Nofi Nano also achieved a breakthrough of 18nm. In December 2017, the world's widest 'nano silver' production line led by Nofi Nano started construction in Suzhou Industrial Park and was completed in 2018. After putting into production, it will produce 180 tons of the sixth generation 18 nanometer silver ink and 6 million square meters of wide nano-silver conductive film, which can be widely used in 120 inch capacitive screen, intelligent building window film and other materials.
Cambrios, which was founded in 2004 in Silicon Valley, USA, is both a leader in nano-silver technology and a company that has successfully mass-produced nano-silver lines and successfully commercialized it. After reaching an interactive license, both parties will cover It includes many core technology patents from nano-silver wire material synthesis and purification, roll-to-roll coating process and touch screen application formulation and structure. At the same time, relying on the advanced materials and technical processes of Tiancai innovative materials and the huge industry of Nofi Nano. The chain network will accelerate the development of nano-silver materials in the domestic and international markets of large-size and flexible touch industries, rapidly forming scale effects and providing customers with greater value.
Dr. Xiao Zhongqin, CEO of Tiancai Innovation Materials, said: 'With this authorization, we also hope to encourage our peers to provide excellent products and services to customers under the premise of respecting the intellectual property rights of others, so that innovative nano silver technology can be applied. Can quickly popularize touch applications and all consumer products in the future for the benefit of consumers.
