Plastic Logic and ISORG Claim the Prestigious FLEXI Award for Their Revolutionary Flexible Plastic Image Sensor

Plastic Logic and ISORG Claim thePlastic Logic and ISORG Claim the Prestigious FLEXI Award for Their Revolutionary Flexible Plastic Image Sensor PR Newswire CAMBRIDGE, England and GENOBLE, France, February 5, 2014 Plastic Logic, the leader in the development and industrialisation of flexible organic electronics, and ISORG, the pioneer in organic photodetectors and large area image sensors in printed electronics, picked up the coveted award for their revolutionary large area flexible image sensor. The demonstration, at the FlexTech Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, gave a glimpse of the huge range of possible applications which flexible large area sensor technology can enable. The overall market for printed and flexible sensors is forecast to be worth over $ 7 B n by 2020 (IDTechEx 2014). The collaboration is based on the deposition of organic printed photodetectors (OPD), pioneered by ISORG, onto a plastic organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) backplane, developed by Plastic Logic, to create a flexible sensor with a 4x4 cm active area, 375um pitch (175um pixel size with 200um spacing) and 94 x 95 = 8930 pixel resolution. As much as for the technical achievement, this award recognises the far-reaching potential of the underlying technology in an exciting range of applications and the very real competitive advantages of such products. The backplane design, production process and materials were optimised for the application by Plastic Logic to meet ISORG's requirements.
