USDC Changes Name to FlexTech Alliance; Expands Mission to Include Flexible, Printed Electronics

摘要

The U. S. Display Consortium (USDC) announced July 9 that it is formally expanding its mission to support the emerging flexible, printed electronics market-subsequently changing the organization's official name to the FlexTech Alliance to reflect this new activity and opportunity. The USDC board took this action to signal its intent to commit resources to the increasingly synergistic technologies driving advances in the flexible and printed electronics sector, according to a press release. At the same time, the board recommitted its support for supply-chain development for next-generation displays, such as OLEDs, flexible displays, MEMs-based displays and 3-D displays. USDC officials stated that the move is a natural progression for the organization based on the success of the Flexible, Printed and Organic (FPO) Electronics Initiative that it launched in December 2006, which was designed to gauge potential development and growth of this new market.
