Cambridge spin-out Plastic Logic wins award for its Amoled display technology.

Plastic Logic, spun out of Cambridge University, has won the Oled Innovation Excellence Award for its flexible Amoled display technology.

The company received the recognition at the Global Oled Congress in Shanghai, a gathering of display manufacturers such as Sony, Apple and Osram.

The spin-out’s displays can be bent up to a radius of 0.75mm, the equivalent of wrapping them around a pencil lead. Bendable displays are becoming increasingly important as companies are developing more and more wearable devices.

Indro Mukerjee, chief executive at Plastic Logic, said: “Plastic transistors bring unrivalled levels of flexibility to displays and other electronics, and are the key to unlocking the full potential of markets, including wearable electronics and the internet of things.”
