The technology company Nissha Printing Co. Ltd has started a cooperation with the US company C3Nano Inc. in the field of silver nanowire ink. The aim of the joint development activities in this area is to create the next generation of conductive material par excellence by the 2017 financial year. Both companies have already achieved success in achieving their development goals in terms of high permeability and low surface resistance.

Nissha Printing Co., Ltd is already on the road to success in the development of conductive material as an elementary component of touch panels. These conductive materials include silver nanowire ink, which, with its low surface resistance and excellent flexibility, promises promising new values for next-generation smartphones and tablet devices.

The conductive material, which has already been successfully developed, allows a high permeability of more than 90 percent with a simultaneous resistance of 30 ohms / square meter. Nissha's main focus for the coming fiscal years continues to be on the development area of the touch panel industry with increased use of silver nanowire ink. We are curious to see what forward-looking product developments we can expect from this company in the near future. The possible applications of touchscreen products are already quite extensive.
