''Silver nanowire ink is also particularly transparent, has very good clarity and very little haze, making it ideal for displays requiring sharp, crisp images. Also, screen resistance can be customized to suit the specifications of individual OEMs and designers, which allows for variable response times. Touch screens can be used for devices, such as phones and tablets or big touch screen TVs or even exterior electronic signage. Perhaps most interestingly they can also be used in applications requiring round surfaces or conformity to angles, giving them a clear edge over conventional material that cannot bend.

As reported in “MIT Technology Review” and elsewhere, silver nanowire inks are being used in all-in-one computers and monitors made by LG, Lenovo, Dell, HP and others. The material is also found in mobile phones and tablets made by NEC in Japan, Karbonn in India and Huawei in China. Silver nanowires are also being adopted as the transparent-conductor-of-choice by leading industry heavyweights including Hitachi, LG, TPK, Nissha, 3M, Okura, CNI and others.''
