NanoPhotonica

T用极小的小来伸展

Every year, researchers develop and discover innovative ways to make technology faster, more efficient and cheaper. And of course, smaller. It is entrepreneurs like Chris Morton who identify these technologies and develop them into companies that benefit millions of people worldwide.

Morton在通信行业拥有30多年的企业家和企业领导。原本是电气工程专业,莫顿获得了他的博士学位。在宾夕法尼亚大学的沟通系统中,在全国范围内被GE颁发了这一领域的博士奖学金。

“我认为这是一个很大的领域,因为员工的较低成本较低,我们将聘用,从空间海岸和地方大学获得技术,”莫顿说。

虽然莫顿作为工程师享有他的工作并通过队伍升起,但他对映射技术的兴趣进入成功的企业。“整个问题如何采取技术,决定它在哪些市场中具有竞争力,然后在这些市场中创造和修改该技术,以及如何决定您的客户或合作伙伴应该在那些真正捕获的市场我,“他说。

Morton的简历'反映了他的膨胀技术专长,其中大量成功的公司,他在包括SkyCross,包括智能手机行业的领先的通信天线公司。莫顿还在AT&T和Allen Telecom举行了C级职位。

他最喜欢的冒险是他目前的婴儿,Nanophotonica,于2011年创造。

寻找新技术

在研究新技术的同时,有机会访问佛罗里达大学的研究实验室芽的纳米噬孔的想法。

“我参观了佛罗里达大学,我对他们的纳米技术留下了深刻的印象,并且可以使用它,”莫顿说。“对我来说有趣的是,我认为这项技术可以用于直接触及人们生活的各种产品。”

Morton决定出于几个原因开始纳米噬孔:首先,如果有效化,潜在的冲击纳米材料可以具有。其次,是他在个人和家庭电子空间中与以前客户的经验和关系,以确保他新项目的未来成功。

纳米粒子有很大的好处

NanoPhotonica’s vision is to replace the OLED and LCD lighting display systems in smartphones, tablets and TV screens, with Quantum Dot-Light Emitting Diodes (QLED).

“作为一个例子,如果你看看今天的纸张,你通常会看到电视与这些新的展示技术仍然是大型平面屏幕的数千美元,”莫尔顿说。相反,这项新技术可能会大大降低成本并产生更高的质量显示。“我们的方式,展示有我们期待的所有明亮,纯净,高清的品质,但没有令人害怕的成本罚款。”

纳米材料莫顿和他的团队已经开发和获得专利是亚微观晶体,只有纳米[十亿分之一米]直径,当在室温和压力下液体中涂在层中时,将电力转换为光线或光线。从颗粒产生的光非常明亮和纯净,同样重要,制造非常便宜。

NanoPhotonica is partnering with several major display companies in Asia, hoping to release a QLED display in the next 24 months. NanoPhotonica provides the nanomaterials and their method of applying and combining them to the display.

“What you get is the ability to have even brighter, very high definition displays that are about 70 percent cheaper to make and to sell to consumers,” and that won’t use a large cache of electricity. “So, it’s really groundbreaking stuff.”

Diversifying Technologies into Profitability

NanoPhotonica’s technology is not limited to one application or market. The company also plans to develop cost-effective next-generation lighting and solar panels.

“如果你今天去照明商店或家居仓库,那些持续很长时间的那些有趣的下一代灯,但问题是它们昂贵,”莫顿解释说。

通过其应用,Nanophotonica旨在降低照明成本,同时提高灯泡的效率。同样的想法是针对太阳能电池板的目标。

“显然,每个人都希望能量负担得起的能量,但太阳能仍然不够便宜,使用当前的技术,”他说。“所以,我们随着时间的推移,我们有几个方向进入公司。”

Central Florida Advantages

当一个商业命题向15年前向该地区带来了莫尔顿时,他认识到该地区的潜力并放下根源。“我认为这是一个很大的领域,因为员工的较低成本较低,我们将聘用,从空间海岸和地方大学获得技术,”莫顿说。

Nanophontonica的公司办公室位于玛丽湖的奥兰多郊外。由于新技术专家和专业知识的邻近对其持续材料的开发很重要,因此公司的大多数员工和实验室都在盖斯维尔附近,因为与佛罗里达大学的研究人员有关。

“我们有一个伟大的团队,在很短的时间内取得了令人难以置信的进步,”莫顿称赞。“他们是创造力的,他们在一起工作,他们很高兴,我们真的很兴奋做我们正在做的事情。”

我公司希望扩大他们的位置n the future, including to Asia, where many of their customers and partners are based.

Entrepreneurial Engagement

An active member in the entrepreneurial community, Morton mentors and gives talks at Catalyst, a collaborative-shared workspace for entrepreneurs, in Downtown Orlando. He also spends time at Canvs, another co-working space in Orlando.

Morton is also on the advisory board for GrowFL, a program developed to assist second-stage growth companies in Florida, and serves as Senior Advisor to Focus Bankers, a middle-market investment banking firm with offices throughout the United States.

“I’m engaged with these co-working spaces and their accelerator programs, as well as GrowFL, because I believe that Florida, and central Florida in particular, has all the ingredients necessary to become a real ‘new economy/high tech’ hub,” Morton said. “I’m happy to do my part in making that a reality.”
