The proliferation of multimedia products is resulting in increasing importance of visual image displays. The consumer is demanding visual display interfaces that provide flexible performance in a number of different ways that include higher resolution, lighter weight, increased energy efficiency, viewability in direct sunlight and larger screen sizes. FPDs have the advantage of having a flat viewing surface, higher resolution, increased energy efficiency and larger format capability without image distortion.
All display technologies rely heavily on a host of materials in their fabrication.
The choice of these display materials translates into ease of display manufacture, consumer cost and overall performance. In fact, many promising display technologies have been thwarted by the lack of suitable materials. Click Image to Enlarge SMP has developed enabling materials systems for advanced display applications by leveraging its three technical core competencies, powder manufacture, formulation and deposition.
