1.   Developmental work with amorphous silicon in electronics is farther along than work with polymers, he said, but the plastic material may prove advantageous because of its flexibility.

2.   The liquid crystal in most monitors is a material called amorphous silicon glass.

3.   The machines deposit nine layers of amorphous silicon on the steel, followed by a protective layer of transparent polymer.

4.   The president of the company, Sanford Ovshinsky, has long talked of the microelectronic promise of amorphous silicon, a material widely used in photovoltaic cells.

5.   The new technology uses a digital, solid-state flat device with amorphous silicon and digital signal processing.

6.   The technique developed by Sanyo and Sharp involves the use of polysilicon rather than the amorphous silicon found in conventional TFT-LCD panels.

7.   Sanyo now hopes to win back its early pioneering status by using polysilicon rather than the amorphous silicon found in conventional TFT-LCD panels.
