Production of Roll-Up Phone Screens Starts Shortly

Polymer Vision says that it has set up a production facility with Innos (UK) for organic semiconductor based rollable displays. Manufacturing will start this year to meet the increasing commercial demand for the Polymer Vision display technology and product.

Following 10 years of research, Polymer Vision has spent the past three years processing displays in its own pilot facility in Eindhoven to develop the technology to maturity. Polymer Vision and Innos will together transfer the process technology and finalise qualifications in Southampton, UK, where Innos has already started installing equipment in its newly built cleanroom. In line with their strategy to use mainstream Thin Film Transistor (TFT) equipment, Polymer Vision is confident that they will rapidly scale up to commercial volumes in 2007.

"This step confirms Polymer Vision's pioneering position in the new industry of rollable and flexible displays and marks the next step towards putting the products in the consumer's hands," says Guido Aelbers, COO of Polymer Vision. "Innos' experience of semiconductor processing and manufacturing equipment is vital to our success in meeting market demand and we are very happy to be working together with Innos."

Polymer Vision rollable display technology enables mobile devices to incorporate a display that is larger than the device itself."
