Printed memory agreement
Xaar and Thin Film Electronics have entered into an agreement to jointly develop industrial inkjet methods and processes that can be used for producing printed memory applications efficiently and in volumes suitable for commercial applications.
The development agreement builds on TFE’s printable memory materials IP and Xaar’s equipment, solutions and IP for printing functional materials.
“Last year, we demonstrated the world’s first functional, fully printed memory together with Xaar,” said Johan Carlsson, TFE’s ceo. “We will now prove our technology’s manufacturability using industry standard inkjet equipment for high volumes.”
Werner Zapka, head of Xaar’s Advanced Applications Technology team, claimed: “As the printed electronics market continues to evolve, we see numerous opportunities for products that include memory and with that we see a market for our ink jet solutions for production of printed electronics products in general.”
