Proposal for Supplemental Funds
 
Project Title; Investigation of 3 -Dimensional Display Technologies
 
Sponsor: 3DIcon Corporation
 
OU Projects: 125573300
 
Project Period: 7/15/05-I/14/07
 
Supplement: 9/1/06-1/14/07
 
Summary
 
OU is currently pursuing research under an established Sponsored Research Agreement with 3DIcon Corporation in the area of 3-dimensional display technologies, The goals of this research ate: to produce patentable and/or copyrightable intellectual property; to produce proof- of-concept technology that demonstrates the viability of the intellectual property; and, to assess opportunities for manufacturing technological products in Oklahoma. To date, three provisional patent applications have been submitted as a result of the research, as well as the preparation of a full utility patent application that is near to submission.
 
With the consent and direction of the sponsor, the OU team has begun to pursue the development of fluorescent nanoparticles by engaging with Dr. Gerard Newman and Dr Martina Dreyer of 'the School of Chemical, Biological, and Materials Engineering Early laboratory results on the synthesis of these new nanopaiticles are encouraging However, supplemental funds are required to support the ongoing participation of our new research collaborators for both salaries and project materials.
 
In addition, again with the consent and direction of the sponsor, the OU team has begun the fabrication of two prototype swept-volume displays that are the topic of an invention disclosure filed with the OU Office of Technology Development and of the soon-to-be-filed utility patent application, A portion of the supplemental funds will go toward the support of the prototype fabrication activities. 
 
Budget Justification
 
The bulk of the budget for this supplemental request goes to support the salaries, fringe and IDC for Dr., Gerard Newman, Dr, Martina Dreyer, and Dr., Hakki Refai, Dr Refai's salary was initially covered by the original project budget, but a portion of budgeted salary funds were reallocated to allow us to bring Dr Dreyer onto the project at the beginning of the summer - thus the need to replenish sufficient funds to see our commitment to Dr. Refai through to the end of 2006. The remaining request of $11,623 for equipment will go toward fabrication of the swept-volume display prototypes,
