Printable Electronics Centre Opens

News
International launch of the UK’s national Printable Electronics Technology Centre.
PETEC has opened the UK's national Printable Electronics Technology Centre. PETEC‘s expertise and equipment in the field of Printed Electronics delivers design, development and prototyping services and facilities to its customers. The field of printable electronics offers companies a high-yield, low-cost manufacturing technology applicable to a wide variety of applications.



Tom Taylor, director of PETEC, said “The UK has a well established competence in research in printable electronics whereas PETEC's focus is in accelerating the commercialisation of these products through the production processes and solving technology issues that companies face in developing new products.



“PETEC offers experience, knowledge, and the appropriate infrastructure to support customers in this emerging global market. “



The Centre, a division of the Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI), connects innovators in research with commercial activity using proof of concept devices and pilot scale manufacture. The Centre helps clients identify the materials, industrial steps and investments required to bring products to market quickly. PETEC's initial focus is in displays, where there is already commercial pressure to produce larger area displays that are more efficient and at lower cost. With the emergence of new formats such as E-paper, OLED Displays and LCD on flexible substrates, the potential for printable electronics to make an impact is vast.



Other near term markets for PETEC's customers include Solid State Lighting and Organic Photovoltaics. The Centre is geared to help companies address the various materials performance and processing challenges in these emerging markets.



Richard Kirk, CEO of Polyphotonix, an OLED lighting company building its first production line at PETEC commented, “PETEC has been pivotal to creation of PolyPhotonix. Without access to the facilities, management expertise and experience it would have been prohibitively expensive. The ability to work quickly and effectively is crucial in this fast moving technology environment.



PETEC is already attracting customers from the UK and internationally, from Start-Ups & SME's to multinational blue chip organizations. Its aim is to secure the UK's manufacturing reputation in this field by training the next generation of PR engineers and providing a valuable contribution to the UK economy. PETEC's presence will consolidate national and international resources into efficient supply chains.
