Electronics for a flexible world
² Progressively smaller features² Increased performance² Increased density² Compact IC footprint² Overall low cost per transistor² But only if you need lots of transistors!
The benefits of Moore’s Law² Flexible low cost substrate² Flexible low cost active materials² Simpler fabrication equipment² Simpler fabrication processes² Overall low cost per unit area² Simple, low cost integration into a wide
variety of form factors
… but for everyday objects!

NB: analysis assumes footprint is limited by complexity not I/O pads (more pads would increase inflection & crossover point)
FlexLogIC on track for 2018 production
Design & specification finalised and all orders placed² 60% higher capacity within original capex target² 30% lower marginal production cost per FlexIC
Lease secured at UK’s National Printable Electronics Centre² Collocated with existing PragmatIC pilot production
Installation and commissioning through end 2017² Initial equipment deliveries already on site in Q2
