(R&D lab, startups, etc.)
• Marketing to reach home-use customers

7.  Other Potentials Application:
• Battery for car and potential use in energy storage
with solar module, etc. Potential integration in
display industry, RFID and sensory industry
 Other technical insights, knowhows that
need to be patented which unrelated to
“core technology”

8.  Market Size:

development via formal/informal meeting,
newsletter.
 Highly customized product to meet
different customer needs.

16.  Online for both customized request and
home-use product from different customers
 Distribution channel for home-use product
via department store such as Target, Home
Depot, Walmart

17.  Primary customer would be flexible
electronics industries that need to replace
thin film battery with a better product.
 Home use consumers can also purchase a
different lines of product to replace their
recharge battery.

18.  Annual licensing fee to university
