General information:

Canatu is a leading developer and manufacturer of transparent conductive films and touch sensors for an entirely new class of touch applications. Canatu’s transparent conductive films and touch sensors are based on a new type of carbon nanomaterial (Carbon NanoBud®), and a new, single-step manufacturing process combining aerosol synthesis of NanoBud® material and Roll-to-Roll deposition by Direct Dry Printing®.

Carbon NanoBud® (CNB™) films are used for flat, flexible or formable touch screens, displays and touch sensitive surfaces. Canatu services the rapidly expanding market for mobile and wearable consumer devices, home appliances, white goods and automotive interiors.

Canatu’s patented innovations have the potential to revolutionize industries by enabling new kinds of printed flexible, foldable and 3D shaped electronics products that also reduce cost and environmental impact. CNB™ films and sensors provide for superb optical clarity and increased battery life by offering the best in class light transmission coupled with ultra-low reflections.

Canatu can help electronics hardware companies and brand names who are seeking ways to differentiate products, reduce production costs and increase product performance. Existing materials such as silicon, metals and metal oxides are expensive, not flexible, stretchable or transparent, and require complex and bulky support structures. Moreover, these traditional technologies are reaching their performance limits. With Canatu’s CNB Films it is possible to replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) in capacitive touch sensors using existing driving electronics.

Key benefits of CNB Films

Flexible and 3D formed touch devices
- Enables new level of design freedom
Improves touch display contrast
- CNB™ sensors provide outstanding contrast and outdoor readability in touch displays due to ultra-low reflectivity and haze
- Highest transmission of any conductive carbon nanomaterials
Increased battery life due to higher contrast
- Higher contrast enables lower backlight power
Cost competitiveness
- Reduced total system cost due to a simple sensor manufacturing process
Fast turnaround in development and production
- Invisible patterns and no need for pattern tuning for each display
Green carbon technology
- Environmentally friendly manufacturing process with no toxic wet chemistry

Canatu opened a CNB Film and sensor manufacturing plant in Helsinki, Finland in October 2013. The plant manufactures CNB touch sensors in addition to the CNB Films. The sensor volumes are aimed for special applications and pilot production. The company has numerous customer projects underway, and CNB technology is being evaluated by over 40 companies worldwide. A high-volume CNB Film manufacturing plant is planned to open in late 2014.
