10 years of research & development went into the creation of our flexible plastic display. The result is a robust, lightweight display that, unlike the LED glass displays used in other eReaders, is rugged and glare-free.

The technology for plastic electronics on thin and flexible plastic substrates was developed at Cambridge University's renowned Cavendish Laboratory in the 1990s. In 2000, Plastic Logic was born out of Cavendish Laboratory to develop a broad range of products using the plastic electronics technology.

The Plastic Logic approach solves the critical issue in manufacturing high-resolution transistor arrays on flexible plastic substrates by using a low temperature process without mask alignment. Our process simplifies the conventional amorphous silicon processes, uses an eclectic mix of standard production equipment from display manufacturing and other industries. In September 2008, we opened the world's first state-of-the-art, commercial-scale plastic electronics manufacturing facility, further shaping the landscape of this industry.

HP Develops a Flexible Plastic Display

Displays are getting thinner and thinner, and HP and researchers at the Arizona State University have created a new slim, flexible plastic display.

These new flexible plastic displays are produced by using a roll to roll process which uses 90% less material than current methods of manufacturing displays.
