Dow Jones Description
Nano-Proprietary, Inc. is engaged in the development of proof of concepts of products and materials, and the performance of services based principally on novel applications of carbon nanotube technology and other nanotechnology areas based on intellectual property and expertise that we have developed over the years. We were incorporated in Texas in 1987 and completed our initial public offering in 1993. Our initial focus was on a next generation display technology called field emission display (FED). The majority of our research over the years has related to FED technology, and we have accumulated significant intellectual property in this area. FED technology has evolved significantly over the life of the company, and we have been at the forefront of that evolution, accumulating intellectual property each step of the way. We believe our FED intellectual property will be required by any entity that develops a display using this technology. As discussed in greater detail under the heading Display activities, our FED technology includes both carbon nanotube based field emission displays and thin-film based field emission technology, such as the technology recently introduced by Canon and Toshiba referred to as SED.
