Plastic Logic was thrilled to have been selected to be part of BBC Click’s experiment to live without paper. As BBC Click said, “Talk of a paperless office has been around for well over 40 years,” but “the office […] still shows no sign of giving up its fight to stay in print.”
BBC Click visited Plastic Logic’s R&D center in Cambridge to see how its unique plastic electronics technology has the potential to help make their vision of a paperless office a reality. Visiting Plastic Logic’s lab included getting kitted up for a behind-the-scenes tour of the company’s cleanroom and BBC Click saw how its technology is manufactured.
With well over a million plastic transistors, BBC Click saw how Plastic Logic’s displays can show high-resolution text, images and even video animation, while still remaining flexible and robust. The BBC Click team experienced how its flexible plastic displays could be a perfect partner product for people in the office and on the move, including sending content wirelessly from their smartphone to a plastic e-paper accessory display, making it much easier to read files.
Plastic Logic CEO, Indro Mukerjee, was also featured on BBC Click talking about how Plastic Logic has developed its unique technology from research project to fully industrialized state and some of the challenges the company has overcome along the way. Mukerjee gave a glimpse into the future, talking about the potential that one day people could wear, sit on or use furniture that is embedded with Plastic Logic’s technology.
BBC Click were impressed with Plastic Logic’s technology, which presenter Spencer Kelly said represents a definite “step closer to a low power, paperless future.”
