Nanomix, DuPont Electronic to Develop Nanotubes

EMERYVILLE, Calif. & RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 11 -- DuPont Electronic Technologies, a supplier of materials for plasma display panel televisions, has been granted an exclusive license from nanotechnology company Nanomix Inc. to make and sell field-emitting, thick-film materials containing carbon nanotubes for use in flat-panel displays. The carbon nanotube thick-film emitter materials will be used to make field emission displays. The companies say their combined technology will improve emission efficiency of the emitter material.

"This agreement allows us to leverage unique technologies that enable the production of more affordable flat-panel televisions with big screens and CRT-like image quality," said David B. Miller, vice president and general manager of DuPont Electronic Technologies.
