DuPont created the standard metallization process for front and back panels of plasma display panels (PDPs) with our DuPont™ Fodel® photoimageable thick-film technology. Now the global industry-standard for thick-film metallization, DuPont™ Fodel® is easy-to-use, has a wide processing window and provides the fine-line resolution required for HDTV. These attributes have been instrumental in enabling PDPs to attain their current attractive price points and excellent picture quality. In 2005, we launched a lead-free version of DuPont™ Fodel® and we are currently developing the next-generation metallization technology, Transfer Materials Technology (TMT), to enable higher PDP resolution and lower cost of ownership.
