• Publicly listed OSE/OTCQX • Over 290 patents and
patents-‐pending in printed electronics & NFC (Near Field Communica>on)
• Award-‐winning NFC Innova>on Center in Silicon Valley
• Broad & diverse global partner ecosystem
• Global presence – Scandinavia, Singapore, HK, China, Korea, USA
Printed Electronics…
Add a li)le bit
of intelligence
to a lot of things.
Smart Solu>ons through Prin>ng
3
Hybrid combo manufacturing • Op>mized for throughput and cost • Prin>ng : Silicon, dopant (n & p), ROM & passiva>on
• Lithography: Isola>on, gate, via & metal
• Four mask steps (vs. 22 in CS)
• Roadmap to more print
Printed Dopant Poly Silicon (PDPS)
High performance materials • Op>mized for product performance • High n and p mobility silicon ink
• High purity films
• Larger crystalized grain size • Full suite of electronic inks
PDPS pla2orm provides affordable high electron and hole mobility CMOS devices
The Prin>ng Process
7
Affordable, Reliable, Scalable
• Built on stainless steel sheets: inexpensive and scalable to Roll-‐to-‐Roll processing
• Processing cycle >me much faster than tradi>onal semiconductor manufacturing
• Uses prin>ng technology to op>mize cost and minimize process complexity
• Up to 5B OpenSense™ / SpeedTap™ annual capacity • Batch size increases by 50x • Material cost dominates per-‐die cost
• Total front-‐end cost per die of NFC products reduced by an order of magnitude
• Sub 100 μm die creates new Addressable Market
• NFC wireless communica>on • Unique iden>fica>on • Consumer engagement • Sensing and security • Product authen>ca>on
… in ultra-‐high volume
Near Field Communica>on (NFC) tags
High performance prin>ng process enables:
Connects the Physical to Digital World
Tapping NFC tags w/ a Smartphone: • Provides instant product connec>ons
• Enables product authen>ca>on
• Improves opera>ons
• Enhances brand management
Why NFC?
NFC Omni-‐Channel Marke>ng
Universal Smartphone Ownership
Mobile-‐First Aitude
Mobile Payments Readiness
Users Prefer the NFC Experience
Novice users completed an iden>cal task 31% faster using NFC compared to a QR code (Strategy Analy>cs)
Ajer ini>al use: • QR code 10-‐15 sec • NFC tag 1-‐2 sec
Users prefer NFC based on: 1. Speed 2. Convenience 3. Staying in control
