MOCON Joins Flexible Display Center

Published: May 18, 2009

MINNEAPOLIS, MN | MOCON, Inc. has become an associate member of the Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University (ASU), a collaboration among government, industry and academia designed to advance the development of full-color flexible display technology.

MOCON will install its state-of-the art AQUATRAN unit, an ultra high-barrier water vapor permeation test instrument to support the FDC’s development efforts. The AQUATRAN makes it possible to accurately measure water vapor transmission rates down to 0.0005 g/m2 per day under varying temperature conditions. (Conventional units typically only measure to 0.005 g/m2 per day.)

Formed through a 10-year cooperative agreement between the U.S. Army and ASU, the FDC is partnering with many of the world’s leading providers of advanced display technology, materials and process equipment to meet its development objectives.
