Amorphyx is working at the intersection of materials science and electronics. Focused on changing the economics of manufacturing liquid-crystal displays, the firm's approach is to combine expertise in amorphous metals and the creation of high-quality thin films in developing the Amorphous Metal Nonlinear Resistor (AMNR) device and PECVD-based manufacturing process for LCD and flexible backplanes. The AMNR simplifies backplane processing and operation ⢠reversing the trend of increasing complexity and cost for LCD ⢠enabling the integration of touch and display ⢠foundational to roll-to-roll flexible backplane manufacturing. Displays are integral to modern life - TVs, desktop monitors, computers, digital cameras, iPads, laptops, smart phones, not-so-smart phones - but though has surged, display manufacturers have not yet achieved profitability. The Amorphyx effort is dramatically to reduce manufacturing costs by eliminating semiconductor content in the display backplane while increasing the brightness, speed and efficiency of LCD and flexible displ
