October 31, 2007 – Konarka Technologies Inc. has expanded its existing licensing agreement with DuPont Displays to include and advance technology for polymer-based photovoltaic applications and related technology, developed by Konarka cofounder Alan Heeger.
The two firms already had a deal in place since 2004 to license IP to develop organic polymer-based solar cells, developed at DuPont and the U. of California/Santa Barbara. This new deal makes Konarka the sole licensee and sublicensee in that field.
