Plastic Logic a Participant in Large Area Flexible Sensor Consortium

Plastic Logic a Participant in Large AreaPlastic Logic a Participant in Large Area Flexible Sensor Consortium PR Newswire CAMBRIDGE, England, February 6, 2014 The FLASHED (Flexible Large Area Sensors for Highly Enhanced Displays) consortium was formed to develop a large area (A3 size) pressure sensitive display. The development timeframe is 36 months and the goal is to produce a demonstration piece. Cambridge (UK) based Plastic Logic's participation was sought due to its wealth of experience in the development and industrialisation of flexible organic thin film transistor (OTFT) backplanes for display and sensor applications. The other participating organisations are Microsoft Research Ltd, also Cambridge based, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V based in Germany, Media Interaction Lab from the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH, both based in Austria. In addition to Plastic Logic's OTFT experience it, along with Media Interaction Lab and Microsoft Research, has experience in the creation and refining of demonstrator pieces. As well as the demonstrator piece, another commercially-important legacy will be the resultant portfolio of intellectual property (IP), the licensing and income from which will be distributed to the participating organisations in accordance with their pre-existing IP and the particular value they added.
