Through the development of its tru-FLEX semiconductor technology, SmartKem Ltd has signed Letters of Intent (LOI) with two Asian displays manufacturers. The agreements signify increasing interest for SmartKem’s semiconductors, with Asian manufacturers collaborating to drive manufacturing, integration and commercialisation of organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) technology in the flexible electronic display market.
“This is a truly exciting time for SmartKem. The signing of these LOIs in Asia will allow SmartKem to gain significant traction for the tru-FLEX platform in one of our key geographies, and a global hub of the electronics sector,” commented Steve Kelly, founder and CEO of SmartKem.
These LOIs will allow SmartKem to implement and industrialise tru-FLEX into the production lines of leading display manufacturers, replacing like-for-like traditional competitive technologies such as amorphous silicon. Furthermore tru-FLEX technology can be processed at room temperature, without the need for cleanrooms and vacuum equipment, providing a clear path to low-cost display production.
