Plastic Logic Unveils Next Step in its Organic Flexible AMOLED Demonstrator Programme
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Plastic Logic, experts in the development and industrialisation of flexible organic
electronics, has shown the second in its series of all-plastic flexible AMOLED display
demonstrators.
Building on the first demonstrator, shown at the Flextech Conference in Phoenix, AZ in
February, the new display features an increased brightness, 256 grey levels, and full
30fps image rendering. The display offers further proof that organic transistor technology
offers display makers the best path to truly flexible, ultra-thin, lightweight AMOLEDs,
and is the world's first all-organic AMOLED display made using a toolkit of processing
capabilities already proven industrially.

One application for the technology is wearables - a market calling out for displays
and sensors that can conform to the curved and irregular shapes of the human body. OTFT is
the only transistor technology offering the true flexibility needed for wearables: for
example in smart bracelets, the size of usable screen area can be significantly increased
once you can bend a display around your wrist.
The flex AMOLED display was made using Plastic Logic's truly flexible oTFT backplane
technology, combined with Novaled's OLED frontplane materials. The market for flex AMOLED
displays is set to grow to $23bn by 2023 (IHS 2014 report), fuelled by the pull for
flexible displays for wearables and the Internet of Things.
Through its OTFT development and industrialisation process, Plastic Logic has created
unique IP and a highly transferable process-flow, and has a Partner Programme to work with
leading global display makers and consumer electronics companies to enable flexible,
plastic AMOLED supply chains through licensing and technology transfer to existing
manufacturers. Plastic Logic is now actively seeking companies to join its Partner
Programme to take flexible electronics and wearable technology into mainstream production.
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of Plastic Logic, commenting on the second demonstrator said: 'The
speed with which the second demonstrator display followed the first is a testament to the
depth of the IP and know-how in manufacturing processes, materials sets and architectures
that Plastic Logic has built up over the past 13 years. Colour is our next target.'
Update: Those attending SID at San Diego, June 1st - 6th, are welcome to see our flex
OLED demonstrator at the iZone, Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th, as well as hear Mike
Banach, Engineering Director - speaking on Flexible AMOLED display driven by organic TFTs
on a plastic substrate on Wednesday 4th June and Paul Cain, Marketing Director, on
Flexible Displays - portable & wearable devices on Thursday 5th June.
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 technology and now manufactures a range of high-quality,
shatterproof, ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight plastic displays. These offer huge
advantages over conventional screens, as they are extremely flexible with proven
lifetimes. Solutions for sensor and other non-display applications are in development,
enabling revolutionary design possibilities, set to transform existing markets such as
wearable and mobile devices, signage, and automotive, as well as many others. Plastic
Logic is backed by major investors including Rusnano and Oak Investment Partners.
