Merck KGaA & Plastic Logic's new generation organic semiconductors
Introduction and production of Merck's new organic semiconductors in Plastic Logic's displays are being planned for 2011 by Merck KGaA and Plastic Logic GmbH. Merck recently invested in the expansion of the Chilworth Technical Centre, its chemicals research site in Southampton, UK, by adding new laboratories to intensify and accelerate display material developments based on plastic electronics. As part of the project announced today, Plastic Logic has also invested in additional manufacturing equipment to accelerate the introduction of Merck's new lisicon® materials into mass production. Merck's functional materials are already used in the manufacturing process of the flexible ePaper displays contained in Plastic Logic's first consumer product, QUETM proReader, which was presented at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in January.2009
