developed a new technology among others in the field of printed electronics, organic or flexible (depending on the different existing denominations), being amongst the few in the international community able to develop similar products based on this innovative technology.

Printed Electronic Technology makes sophisticated devices accessible to everyone, and it takes beyond the classic electronics industry.

This technology, also called TOLAE (Thin, Organic and Large Area Electronics), allows a wide range of electrical and electronic components to be produced by printing processes, using techniques similar to those used in the graphic arts.

The current development of printed electronics makes it very suitable for the manufacture of certain parts of an electronic circuit. By printing technology is highly desirable manufacturing the conductive traces of the circuit and some basic components thereof, such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes, among others. But this technology has not yet achieved such print transistors miniaturization and high performance as the traditional electronics, such as in the case of a microcontroller.

VIVAINNOVA noted the opportunity to unite the advantages provided by both technologies to create their hybrid technology called UFPC (Ultra Flexible Printed Circuits), thus exploiting the competitive advantages of both technologies.

While traditional electronics provides high performance and capability, printed electronics provides flexible substrates with high volume production at an economical price and environmentally friendly, compared with traditional electronics.
