Currently, I am hearing more and more statements from our customers that an Asian manufacturer claims to produce glass film glass Touschreens under license from ADmetro.
This statement is simply false. There is no license agreement between ADmetro and any Taiwanese manufacturer.
I also don't know…

Metal Mesh as a competitor for ITO
Not so long ago, the use of metal meshes as transparent electrical conductors (TCs) was unthinkable. The reason was the insufficient transparency of the product. Since this performance deficit is now a thing of the past, Metal Mesh is proving to be a serious…

We have often reported that graphene is one of the hardest and most resilient materials in the world. Graphene is a chemical relative of diamonds, coal or the graphite of pencil leads - only better.
It is also called a "miracle material" by some people, because with only one atomic layer, it is one…
