Ynvisible Interactive Inc. announced a partnership with Electroninks and its consumer product line, Circuit Scribe, a leader in educational consumer electronics and electronic inks.

The collaboration creates an opportunity to integrate electrochromics into the Electronink’s Circuit Scribe Kits aimed at consumer markets.

“Electroninks’ approach to introducing electronic inks and printed electronic components all the way into the hands of consumers is game-changing,” said Jani-Mikael Kuusisto, CEO of Ynvisible Interactive. “We are excited to partner with Electroninks with the aim of bringing electrochromics technology to a wide audience of designers, makers, students, and electronics hobbyists; and with the ultimate target of making our brands globally recognized household brands.”

In 2013 Electroninks launched Circuit Scribe, a line of educational kits designed to help children learn about electronics. Based around a pen that draws with conductive silver ink to create electrical connections between electronic components on paper or plastics, Circuit Scribe is now a well-known name in the worlds of STEM, Maker Faires, for project-based learning and educational toys. The kits are used in schools and households around the world. Traditionally, electrochromics has not been available in the consumer space.

Electroninks Circuit Scribe brand will begin offering 7-segment modular electrochromic displays as a component of their pen-on-paper prototyping kits. The 7-segment displays will be seamlessly integrated into existing Circuit Scribe kits and allow users to easily create a variety of applications focused on numeric displays. The partners are also exploring further electrochromic product concepts.
