Company Visits/Tours

Plastic Logic uses its proprietary technology leadership in plastic electronics to create a range of products enabling information access, organization, and consumption. During the visit to Plastic Logic, visitors will learn about how the company developed this technology and what makes it so unique. Furthermore, they will receive an insight into the company's "journey" from a pilot line in Cambridge, UK to serial production in Dresden, Germany. Visitors will also have the opportunity to see footage of the fully automated production line in action. We regret that a tour of the cleanroom will not be possible.

About Plastic Logic

Plastic Logic''s mission is to lead the plastic electronics revolution, and in the way people acquire, organize and consume information. We are using our proprietary technology leadership in plastic electronics to create a range of innovative products. Our first product, focused on reading digital content, will enter the marketplace in early 2010.

Founded in 2000 by researchers out of the Cambridge University Cavendish Laboratory, the Company has received more than $200 million in funding from leading international technology firms and investors. Plastic Logic has research and development in Cambridge, England; high-volume, state-of-the-art manufacturing in Dresden, Germany; and executive management, product engineering, sales and marketing headquartered in Mountain View, California.

Incorporated with Masterclass 5
The Displays and Lighting Master class will be held at the Fraunhofer IPMS/COMEDD in Dresden; there will be a tour of their clean rooms as part of this visit. Coaches will be provided from and to the Dresden International conference center.

About Fraunhofer IPMS
The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (Fraunhofer IPMS) works on electronic, mechanical and optical components and their integration into smallest, "smart" devices and systems. Main focus is on applications, where our customers aim to increase the functionality of their products using Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED) and microsystems (MEMS, MOEMS, CMOS) with increasingly small dimensions and innovative system properties. Our special competence is in using light, meaning the application of optical properties and components. The Fraunhofer IPMS covers a wide range of industrial applications. Our services include conceptual design, product development and pilot-fabrication in own labs and clean rooms - from the device up to the complete system solution. www.ipms.fraunhofer.de

About COMEDD
The Center for Organic Materials and Electronic Devices Dresden (COMEDD) stands for combined know-how and infrastructure under the aegis of the Fraunhofer IPMS. This covers research and development as well as pilot-production of devices and fabrication technologies based on semiconducting organic materials, so called small molecules. COMEDD consolidates the lead of the Organic Electronics Saxony in terms of research and development of organic semiconductors by means of industrial, production-related utilization. To this end, COMEDD provides full service  from system design and technological development to pilot production of small batches including substrate structuring, deposition technology, encapsulation and system integration. COMEDD started operations at the Fraunhofer IPMS on September 10, 2007, assigning unique equipment for the fabrication of OLED lighting modules and organic solar cells to Sunic System Ltd., South Korea, and AIXTRON AG. The Saxon Land government, the Federal Government and the European Union invested 25 million Euro in four lines of prototypes and pilot production for the center to gain a leading position in Europe and to forward the market leadership of OLED-lighting, organic solar cells and OLED-on-CMOS devices. www.ipms.fraunhofer.de/en/comedd
