Guardian Industries has entered an agreement with Unidym to develop and commercialise carbon coated glass products for touch-screen devices and other applications.
Under the agreement, Guardian will fund a joint development effort to optimise and scale carbon coated glas products. The two companies initially plan to jointly market the products to customers in the touch panel industry.
Unidym will reportedly supply electronic inks to Guardian for the manufacture of coated glass.
"Our collaboration is expected to set a new standard for low-ohm transmissive conductive coatings (TCC) on glass that form the backbone of touch panel and other electronic products," said Jim St. Jean, Electronics Segment Marking Director for Guardian. "This new class of TCC glass products will serve to complement other glass and coated glass products in the pipeline for the electronics and solar markets," he added.
