Full Description

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc., formerly Nano-Proprietary, Inc., incorporated in 1987, is a nanotechnology company engaged in research based primarily on applications of carbon nanotube technology. Its work is focused in the areas of nanoelectronics, nanocomposites, sensors and electron emission activities. Its three business segments include Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI), Electronic Billboard Technology, Inc. (EBT) and Other.

Applied Nanotech, Inc.

ANI is developing its proprietary carbon nanotube and related technologies. Accordingly, its research is focused in the area of carbon nanotube technology and its application to the display, electronics, sensor, medical, and other industries. It is developing technologies that fall under one of five technology platforms. These platforms include Sensor technology, Nanoelectronic applications, Electron emission activities, Functional nanomaterials and Nanoecology. Its electron emission activities can be divided into display activities and non-display activities.

Electronic Billboard Technology, Inc.

EBT was initially focused on developing sun-readable display products for outdoor use. Its primary product initially was an electronic billboard that would enable the outdoor advertising industry to exploit the Internet and information revolution by placing ads at different locations at different times. The focus of EBT was shifted to displays for indoor use that could be used as part of an overall point of purchase advertising program. It developed a product called the E-Window, as well as patents surrounding the process of communicating with electronic displays for the purpose of placing advertisements. It sold EBT’s intellectual property in two simultaneous transactions.

The Company has developed a concept called Photoscrub which is based on an air purification technology originally developed by one of its strategic partners, Andes Electric Co., Ltd. The Photoscrub is a thin film coating on a flexible fiberglass cloth that decomposes pollutants at the molecular level in liquids and gases. It is in the advanced stages of research into nanomaterials using carbon nanotube and other composites.
