Polymer Vision announces production facility for rollable displays with Innos
Polymer Vision has announced its cooperation with Innos (UK) to establish a production facility for organic semiconductor based rollable displays. Manufacturing will starting this year to meet the increasing commercial demand for 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 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."
Alec Reader, Business Development Director at Innos comments, "Rollable display technology is the future for mobile devices and Innos is delighted to be sharing its expertise and working with Polymer Vision to bring this next generation of technology to the mass market."
