Eikos is currently marketing these conductive coatings under its registered trademark, InvisiconREG, as a replacement for ITO in existing applications, and a core part of our second thrust is to use InvisiconREG coatings for rapid prototyping of new electronic devices and enabling entirely new device structures. Based on superior performance and lower costs InvisiconREG can be a transparent electrode that is easily printed and patterned allowing manufacturers to produce more efficient and cost effective PV's, displays, and electronic devices. One key terrestrial application is the use of InvisiconREG electrodes in electrodynamic dust mitigation cleaners for solar PV arrays for utility electricity generation in arid regions.
ESC mitigation is critical to the survivability of vehicle and infrastructure components and systems and to the safety of astronauts during EVAs and planetary surface operations. This technology will provide significant improvement in robustness, reliability, and safety. Once fully matured, this technology will be implemented to sustain affordable exploration in remote environments where surface contamination, like dust, is persistently reducing the effectiveness, safety, and sustainability of key systems.
