Plastic Logic and PrintLess Plans Collaborate on New Display for the AEC Industry
CAMBRIDGE, England, November 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Plastic Logic, the flexible display technology company, has entered into a development
partnership with PrintLess Plans to produce the Zephyr E-portfolio, a touch-sensitive
display for plans for on-site use by the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC)
industry.

Plastic Logic and PrintLess Plans have worked together to develop a medium format
flexible display for use on-and-off site by the AEC industry. PrintLess Plans selected
Plastic Logic's display technology as the best suited to the application. A working
prototype will be shown at GreenBuild International Conference and Expo, Philadelphia,
November 20th - 22nd.
Previous attempts to replace hard copy plans on construction sites have largely failed
due to the challenges of making a sufficiently large display which is robust, lightweight,
low power and can be folded or rolled up.
Plastic Logic's electrophoretic display (EPD) [http://www.plasticlogic.com/technology
] meets these criteria. The technology is unbreakable, flexible, daylight-readable,
lightweight and only uses power to update the image. The EPD offering combines Plastic
Logic's unique flexible OTFT backplane with technology from E ink(TM), the market leader
for flexible EPD materials.
The project timescales have been aggressive, but commenting on this, Indro Mukerjee
[http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id60182 ], CEO Plastic Logic, stated: 'With
our experience, fast prototyping and agile manufacturing capabilities, we are able to make
such ideas become reality.' Indro added: 'Plastic Logic and PrintLess Plans are looking
forward to demonstrating the future of the on-site plan display to the 30,000 attendees at
GreenBuild.'
The global construction industry is forecast to grow by 70% from US$7.9trillion to
US$15trillion by 2020 (Vertical Edge Ltd.) and traditional plan printing, document
management and circulation accounts for up to 10% of the value of a construction project.
About Plastic Logic
Plastic Logic is the recognised leader in organic thin-film transistors (OTFT) and is
at the forefront of research and investment in plastic electronics. The company has
industrialised the process and now manufactures a range of high-quality flexible plastic
displays. These shatterproof daylight readable displays are ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight
and very low power, offering huge advantages over conventional screens as they are
extremely flexible with proven lifetimes. Flexible displays enable revolutionary design
possibilities and are set to transform existing markets, such as signage, wristwatches and
other wearable devices, and automotive as well as many others. Plastic Logic is backed by
major investors including Oak Investment Partners and Rusnano.
