Amorphyx is an innovator at the intersection of materials science and electronics for the display market. We leveraged our expertise in amorphous metals and the creation of high-quality thin films in developing the Amorphous Metal Nonlinear Resistor (AMNR) device, subpixel circuit, and PECVD-based manufacturing process. The AMNR simplifies backplane processing and reverses the trend of increasing complexity and cost in the TFT-LCD.
