The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University has announced that the Printable Electronics Technology Center (PETEC) has become an associate member to collaborate on high-performing organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) for flexible display applications.

PETEC, a business unit of the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), a UK national prototyping facility for the development and commercialization of printed electronics, has joined the FDC to better understand the process requirements for OTFT backplane fabrication for both reflective and emissive displays.

The FDC is a government, industry and academia partnership to advance manufacturing ecosystem to support the growing market for flexible electronic displays. It partners include the world’s leading providers of advanced display technology, materials and process equipment.
