Plastic Logic is developing and exploiting world-class technology for manufacturing printed plastic electronic circuits. These circuits are constructed using solution processing and direct-write techniques and consist of transistors and other components that are produced from polymers and a variety of other materials. The technology is characterised by: New solution-based air-stable materials. Direct-write manufacturing techniques to achieve high resolution patterning on distorting substrates. Low processing temperatures allowing the use of flexible and low-cost plastic substrates. Eventual migration from sheet-based to roll-to-roll processing. Plastic Logic has unique intellectual property and know-how in combining novel materials and fabrication techniques to create manufacturable processes which are truly scalable for: Large-area High-volume Low-cost This approach enables active electronic circuits to be produced on large flexible plastic substrates with high yield. In addition, direct-write techniques provide the potential for rapid design cycles and customisation, shorter run-lengths and faster turn-around. This is achieved without the complexity and capital expense of: Multiple mask steps requiring precision alignment High temperature processing Vacuum deposition The performance of printed plastic electronics today is broadly comparable to amorphous-Silicon with the potential to go beyond this with new innovations in device architectures, manufacturing processes and nano-materials. http://www.plasticlogic.com/index.php
