popSLATE Partners with Plastic Logic to Create the Always-on Second Screen Display for their Apple iPhone 5 & 5S Accessory
CAMBRIDGE, England, September 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Plastic Logic has entered into an exclusive strategic partnership with popSLATE for
their new Apple iPhone Always-On 4 second screen display
Plastic Logic and popSLATE are pleased to announce that, following a joint development
programme, the first product will be an accessory for the Apple iPhone 5 and 5S,
incorporating a secondary electrophoretic display (EPD) from Plastic Logic.
One of the product's key features is the display: daylight readable, shatterproof,
ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight. EPD technology is 'always-on' in the sense that an image
is retained and power only required to write a new image. Plastic Logic's market leading
flexible EPD technology combines their unique plastic OTFT backplane with reflective
frontplane technology from E Ink(TM). These benefits mean this technology is ideally
suited to applications such as the high growth market for smart mobile accessories.
popSLATE has pioneered the smartphone Always-On Experience by embedding Plastic
Logic's EPD display into the phone case. In combination with the popSLATE app, users can
customise their case with the images they love, create dashboards with the information
they need, and use their favourite apps in an entirely new, at-a-glance, context-aware
manner. popSLATE is also working with leading artists to create dynamic content channels,
so users can 'pop' a myriad of stunning images to the backs of their phones.
"As the innovators in the space, popSLATE has created a dynamic new product category
and we are incredibly focused on building the best possible product for our users,"
explains popSLATE CEO Yashar Behzadi. "Plastic Logic's solution uniquely meets our
product's demanding design requirements. Working together, our two companies are building
the lightest, most durable, and thinnest ePaper second screen solution in the world."
"We're pleased that, after rigorous testing, popSLATE has endorsed our display
technology as being the one that meets the requirements for their innovative product. Our
flexible EPD technology is proving ideal for smartphone accessory applications, and we are
glad to be working with popSLATE in this market", said Plastic Logic CEO Indro Mukerjee
