 On Taipei Optoelectronics Show 2001, Electronics Research & Service Organization (ERSO) of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) exhibits the first domestic vehicular 4 inch CNT-FED. Since 1992, the Ministry of Economic Affair, Technology Development Program starts to support basic FED technology R&D. Major R&D efforts still are concentrated in ITRI/ERSO, which possesses several technologies such as the structure of Carbon Nano-tube (CNT) materials; production, packaging and printing of cathode and anode panels and is able to produce indigenous CNT-FED without foreign technology assistance.

Trends in using Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT) as self-luminous source
Traditional CRT has excellent imaging capability but bulky while the R&D of CNT-FED (Carbon Nano-Tube Field Effect Display) not only retain the imaging capability of CRT but also possess the benefits of energy saving, light weight with expected commercialization of 30~40 inch CNT TVs in 2005.
With superior brightness and stability, using Carbon Nano-tube (CNT) to replace lamp as LCD backlight module illumination source has become a technology for large display with bright future. Using international brand name such as Samsung, Motorola and Canon as benchmark, ITRI/ERSO has succeeded in the R&D of the CNT-FED. In the future, ANP will also play an important role in providing new backlight module materials for new generation of displays. |

Other Maturing CNT Developments
Hydrogen Storage Materials:
Several international patterns have been filed for Carbon Nanosphere and demonstrate excellent efficiencies in fuel cell applications.
Supercapacitor:
Excellent conductivity and high surface area with micro hole diameter of several nanometers is an ideal electrode material for supercapacitor.
Lithium Battery :
As conductive resin for cathode and anode materials can effectively lower impedance of electrode materials, decrease internal resistance of lithium batteries and obtain superior charge/recharge cycle.
Conducting Materials:
CNT demonstrates high mechanical strength and toughness, excellent electric and heat conductivity, high electromagnetic shielding capability with positive potentials in plastic, rubber and textile applications.
CPU Heat Dispensing Materials:
Using nanometer-processing technology, CNT provides superior heat-dispensing capability. Promptly dispensing of CPU heat energy during high frequency operations greatly increases the CPU clock frequency.
CNT-FED Application:
Provides characteristics such as minute volume with wide viewing angle, small reaction time and great working temperature range.
Other Potential High-Value Commercial Applications.
