An advantage over existing methods is that the new technology is "relatively low-cost" because the polyfluorene is widely used in plastic electronics.
"We are fortunate to have investors who are confident and committed to our company's long-term success in commercializing plastic electronics, " Archuleta noted.

But Hewlett-Packard, which is also making a big effort in plastic electronics using inkjet techniques, argues that the advantage of printing over stamping is that it makes it possible to produce customised circuitry more quickly and easily, with changes in design being incorporated instantly.
Solly Akoojee has for 21 years run a store that serves Randfontein's miners, selling acrylic cardigans and nylon trousers, cheap electronics and plastic luggage.
After a period of calm following the 2008-2009 manufacturing slowdown due to the world financial and economic crisis, Chinese plants are running almost non-stop again, with demand in cars, consumer electronics, plastic toys like vuvuzelas coming from all corners of the globe.
After all, the concept - creating flexible electronics and assembling them on equally flexible plastic - has been touted since the 1960s, when the first flexible solar cell arrays appeared.
And, the creation of that plastic solar cell could change the requirements for the manufacturing of organic printed electronics.
What I was expecting was a kit with plastic materials for walls and furniture, a few decorative items and a lot of electronics.
Last year in April 2012, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created the first plastic solar cell (Forbes: New Technique Creates First Plastic Solar Cell) which they hope will help change requirements for manufacturing of organic printed electronics.
That plastic solar cell was created through a special program at Georgia Tech called the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE), which studies the use and development of printed electronics.
This holiday season, the Minneapolis-based consumer electronics giant is offering more than 50 types of gift cards, including one made from recycled plastic and one that doubles as a set of speakers for an MP3 player.
