SmartKem supplies semiconductor materials for the manufacture of flexible displays and this production facility doubles the size of the company
Together with the creation of this new device facility expansion, SmartKem will also be increasing the size of its technology teams by 30%.
“This is the final piece of the development cycle to bring in-house and the timing could not be better. We are seeing positive traction in the market for flexible electronics across the board from our core market of flexible AMOLED and EPD backplane drivers as well as many new and exciting applications,” said Steve Kelly, chief executive of SmartKem.
The target market is TFT-based products for applications in the display, touchscreen and sensor industries.
The new facility offers TFT device modelling, device stack design and a complete TFT fabrication suite including coating and evaporation equipment as well as a comprehensive test suite for device and circuit characterisation including a semi-automated probe station.
The expansion follows the recent Series A funding from a syndicate of leading investors including Finance Wales, BASF Venture Capital, Entrepreneurs Fund and Octopus Investments.
