The fully automated and integrated facility will begin building the company's forthcoming electronic reading product, scheduled to come to market in early 2009.
Plastic Logic holds patents on plastic electronics technology said to cover the manufacture of high-resolution transistor arrays on flexible plastic substrates at low temperatures. The process is said to be simpler than conventional glass silicon processes, and produces active matrix displays that are thinner, lighter and more robust than glass.
