“Building off the success of previous work with TracXon, this collaboration was a natural next step,” said Fallyn Flaherty-Earp, global marketing leader at Celanese. “Our expertise combined with TracXon’s printing and SMT assembly capabilities as well as their technical background is a gamechanger for the growing printed electronics market.”
The combination allows for a wide design latitude when incorporating flexible LEDs into applications like automotive interiors and exterior lighting, commercial lighting, digital signages for advertising and backlights for large flexible displays. While LED-on-foil is not a novel technology, the advancement in manufacturing them in larger sizes is an important new solution for both automotive and consumer electronics markets.
“Developing the LED-on-foil products with the Micromax silver ink has allowed us to create a variety of designs and sizes to solve our customer’s needs,” said Ashok Sridhar, CEO of TracXon. “Together, we are able to make large format LED-on-foil mainstream and look forward to future collaborations on the next generation of printed electronics.”
