BiNem technology

BiNem® technology is based on a unique principle called "surface anchoring breaking" fully patented by Nemoptic. BiNem® technology has two stable states, the Uniform (U) state and the Twisted (T) state, which are selected by applying simple pulses. Once either state is selected, it stays like it is forever without consuming any additional power. The only way to go from one state to the other is to bring energy in the form of an electrical pulse. This pulse first lifts the molecules on the surface with the weak anchoring layer up to the point where the anchoring is broken. Then, depending on the shape of the falling edge of the pulse, the molecules organize either in U or T state.
