Tuesday December 2nd

Vitex

Vitex Systems, Inc. is commercializing transparent ultra-thin barrier films for use in the manufacture of next-generation flat panel displays (FPDs). The company's proprietary encapsulation solution (Barix) as well as its Flexible Glass substrate are landmark developments designed to enable the cost-effective production of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays that are lighter in weight and thickness than any other commercially available displays. As a result, Vitex will enable today's FPD manufacturers to discover the long sought-after 'Holy Grail' of the industry - robust, high-performance displays as thin and flexible as a sheet of paper.

Rfidium (a Block Shield company)

Interested in learning how RFID antenna inlays and other small printed electronics patterns are created? The Rfidium tour will take you on a journey through the processes required to create prototype RFID antenna inlays and take those prototypes to high-volume producion. It will include live demonstrations of systems including Rfidium's unique laser-centered system for prototype production, chip placement, and high-volume production, as well as an overview of the label conversion process. Other printed electronics technologies that take advantage of these systems and are under development will also be discussed and shown.

Kovio

Kovio Inc., a privately held Silicon Valley company, is developing a new category of semiconductor products using printed silicon electronics and thin film technology. This new manufacturing technology combines the low cost of graphics printing with the power and functionality of silicon-based semiconductors. The company was founded in the MIT Media Laboratory by a team of scientists that recognized the significant impact that combining silicon and print technologies could have on the world.

Printed silicon electronics enables manufacturing of high-performance semiconductor devices over large areas and flexible substrates, at a fraction of the cost of conventional silicon technology. Kovios printed electronic products and solutions have a unique and compelling value proposition in multiple industries, including retail, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, transportation, manufacturing and energy.

Fujifilm Dimatix

The FUJIFILM Dimatix tour provides an overview of the company, its products and its people with a walk-through of its manufacturing facility. FUJIFILM Dimatix's MEMS-based technology lets ink jet printing create products like displays and electronics, RFID antennas, smart tags, DNA arrays, smart packaging and wearable electronics. The DMP-2831 is a low-cost, cartridge-based piezo ink jet printing system that enables direct deposition of functional fluids - including nanoparticle-based metallic and organic materials. A new DMP system to be introduced later this year will also be on view.
