Polymer Vision announces world's first production facility for rollable displays with Innos

Polymer Vision have announced its cooperation with Innos (UK) to establish the world's first production facility for organic semiconductor-based rollable displays. Manufacturing will start this year to meet the increasing commercial demand for the unique Polymer Vision display technology and product.

Following ten 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 equipment, Polymer Vision is confident that they will rapidly scale up to commercial volumes in 2007.

Polymer Vision rollable display technology enables mobile devices to incorporate a display that is larger than the device itself. This is the breakthrough needed in the world- wide mobile industry, to address the dilemma of display size versus device size. With the opportunity to create unique design form factors and the additional advantage of low power, rollable displays will lead to a whole new generation of mobile devices.
