NanoForge has revolutionized the production of copper nanowires by developing a low cost, large scale synthesis process. Copper nanowires are ideal for making low-cost transparent-conductive films, which are used to make flat panel displays, touchscreens, solar cells, organic LED lighting, E-ink panels and low-E architectural glass. With copper nanowires, it is finally possible to economically make displays and solar cells built on plastic films rather than glass or silicon substrates since copper nanowires are:

    • Highly flexible, unlike older generation technologies such as Indium-Tin-Oxide
    • Lower cost than other proposed solutions such as silver nanowires
    • Easily etched to create custom surfaces using off-the-shelf copper printed
