Expensive, bulky TV screens could be a thing of the past thanks to a collaboration between the University of Bristol and Advance Nanotech announced today to develop new display technology made from diamond dust.
Advance Nanotech, a US-based company that acquires and commercializes nanotechnology applications worldwide, has committed £1 million to a two year multidisciplinary project combining the University's nanotechnology expertise in the fields of chemistry and physics. It opens up the possibility of cheaper and more power efficient flat panel displays, for use in wide screen digital TVs and many other applications.
