PolyIC produces printed electronics. Printed electronics means that in a printing process electrical conducting and semi conducting plastics, so called polymers, are applied in several layers on a polyester film. The printing process is conducted in an exactly defined design so that electronic devices can be created. These devices will be integrated, for example, into a RFID (radio frequency identification) tag. Printed electronics makes low-cost RFID tags possible that can be used for mass applications. Furthermore, this new technology is also used in displays and complex systems, called smart objects.

 

 

PolyIC is a joint venture between Siemens AG and Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co. KG and is located in Fuerth, Bavaria (Germany). PolyIC GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2003.
