Polyera Corporation was awarded the 2011 FLEXI Award for research and development, based on world-class research, technologically outstanding and original product development, and new significant commercial potential for implementation into flexible or printed electronics.
FlexTech Alliance announced the recipients of the 2011 FLEXI Awards, which were presented at the 10th Annual Flexible Electronics and Displays Conference. held Feb. 7- 10, 2011 in Phoenix, AZ.
E Ink, Polyera, and the Imperial College of London were recognized for significant contributions to innovation, R&D, and leadership in education. Polyera was the recipient of the FLEXI R&D Award. Entries for this award were considered based on world-class research, technologically outstanding and original product development and new significant commercial potential for implementation into flexible or printed electronics. Judging was based on the vision of how entrants show their ability to identify and solve a real problem, and their determination to bring it to reality.
Polyera, a supplier of functional materials for the printed and flexible electronics industry, has been a leading player in the development of these materials, in particular pioneering the development of high-performance, user-friendly n-type semiconductor materials. These materials not only represent a significant technical breakthrough by demonstrating the viability of high-performing n-type organic semiconductors, but also a commercial one by enabling the development of organic complementary circuitry (which require both n- and p-type materials).
Polyera's molecular materials have been used to fabricate the first inkjet-printed CMOS inverters, and their polymers have been used in the development of the first fully-printed complementary circuits operating in ambient conditions. The award was accepted by Brendan Florez, Polyera's assistant general manager, .
"We're thrilled to be receiving this award,” said Florez. "It's an honor to be receving an award along with the folks from E-Ink, who have done so much to advance the field. And of course, we're very excited about the work we're doing here, and hope to have more exciting news for you in the near future."
