Toray plans to replace ITO (indium tin oxide) film with photosensitive silver paste Laybrid and use it in flexible, foldable display market

Toray is committed to developing the application of photosensitive silver paste "Laybrid". Toray said that the company's currently-developed photosensitive silver paste can meet the needs of smart phone liquid crystal display (LCD) for touch panel wiring applications, but the company also plans to expand the photosensitive silver paste to the field of organic EL smart phones.

It is understood that the company has used the flexural strength of wiring to develop a silver mesh with integrated touch panel and wiring, which is designed to replace ITO (indium tin oxide) films and can be applied to flexible touch panels and foldable markets.

Relevant information shows that ITO is currently the most important transparent conductive thin film material on the market, but with the popularity of flexible display products, ITO conductive films have exposed their own shortcomings, ITO materials are expensive, and the ITO layer is relatively fragile and lacks flexibility. It is impossible to make a foldable panel. The nano-silver wire conductive film with the best conductivity, light transmission and bending performance will become the best substitute for the current ITO materials. Therefore, many companies are laying out nano-silver.

It is reported that in January this year, the company said in January that the nano-silver produced by the company has the characteristics of high conductivity and low impedance, which can be used in 5G antenna materials. The nano-silver conductive film produced by the company has passed 200,000 bending tests, or it will become the best choice material for future flexible displays. Moreover, at present, 1600mm nanometer silver production line of Novo Nano has also entered the operation stage.

In April of this year, Tiancai Innovative Materials Technology joined with Honghong Electronic Technology to officially announce the commissioning of the latest nanosilver production line in Xiamen Tongan, saying that it will become the world's largest nanosilver production base. It is understood that the base is expected to reach a monthly production capacity of about 7,000 liters of nano-silver ink. It can provide more than 700,000 square meters of nano-silver transparent conductive film coating area. About 35 million smartphones per month, or 230,000 large touch screens. the above.
