Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development

Established in 1995 to study new technologies in producing flat panel displays for the information (e.g. computer monitors) and entertainment (e.g. television sets) markets. The main focus is to conduct proof-of-principle research on new and emerging potential flat panel display technologies and to evaluate new and existing flat panel display technologies. An additional focus is to create and support applications needed by flat panel display manufacturers especially those located in the State of Utah.

• Developed a new, enhanced flat panel display for which a patent application has been submitted.
• Established a close working relationship with a local company involved in flat panel display development. A new company has been established with an option to license the flat panel display technology.
• Received Department of Energy funding to investigate another spin-off technology for micro-energy converters under a collaborative development effort with Sandia National Laboratories.
