Dr. Paul Cain of FlexEnable gave a presentation on the company's organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) technology for flexible electronics. FlexEnable has developed the lowest cost and most flexible platform using OTFTs that can be used for LCD, OLED, and sensor applications. Their OTFT technology has been proven for industrial manufacturing and offers high performance with low temperature processing, high mobility, bendability, and stability compared to other technologies like amorphous silicon. FlexEnable is working with partners to commercialize applications of their OTFT technology like flexible displays and sensors for wearables, automotive, and other markets.

On Wednesday 1 March 2017, during the Energy Storage Summit conference in London, Michael Willemot presented the flywheel technology, particularly Levisys flywheel. He also presented the Levelized Cost of Storage, the most accurate way to compare cost of technologies, and why hybrid storage systems are optimal solutions.
This presentation was part of a panel discussion on energy storage technology comparison and applications.

OpenNebulaConf2017EU: Welcome Talk State and Future of OpenNebula by Ignacio ...OpenNebula Project
We’re moving into a world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform can not be all things to all people, there will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud flows directly out of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to remind our vision, vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 8 years, and to give a peek at what to expect from the project in the near future.

Plastic Logic's COO, Konrad Herre, spoke about the truly innovative applications being enabled by OTFT driven displays today at the 'electronica FORUM' in Munich, Germany.
Plastic Logic develops, manufactures and distributes flexible plastic displays in a wide range of sizes (both colour and monochrome), based on organic TFTs.
Flexible displays are essentially very thin display screens that can be printed onto flexible or stretchable material and then attached to other surfaces or produced in a variety of shapes
Bob Jones, CERN & HNSciCloud Coordinator gives an update on the HNSciCloud Pre-Commercial Procurement which is now in its Solution Prototyping phase. The presentation includes also an overview of the prototypes under development.

“FlexEnable's OLCD technology is a breakthrough in the TFT-LCD industry and with its characteristics
of thinness, lightweight, and more durability it is going to create lots of possibilities for innovative
product design. We have been receiving many enquiries for flexible display from the market,
specifically, wearable devices, smart home appliances, electric cars and self-driving cars etc. This is a
pretty exciting display technology and we do believe there is a considerable potential market size.”
KK Ho, General Manager, R&D center, Truly Semiconductors Ltd
• Truly and FlexEnable signed a technology
transfer and license agreement in July 2017
• Truly Semiconductors is the first display
maker to adopt OLCD
• Truly will implement the process into its

Summary
November 3, 2017 | 19
• OTFT is widely recognized as the best technology to enable fully-flexible, low-
cost and ubiquitous displays and sensor arrays.
• OTFT has already been transferred from Lab to Fab – FlexEnable’s
technology is the only OTFT technology used in display manufacturing, and
commercial products, today.
• We have in production a mobility >1.5 cm2/ Vs (well beyond a:Si) – and this is
continually increasing
• OTFT today has better stability than a:Si, and excellent uniformity – key to
achieving low cost manufacturability.
• Fundamental and broad IP portfolio with key patents that enables low-
temperature processing of OTFTs on plastic, and brings a step-change in OTFT
stability
• These technology advantages drive an exciting roadmap with ever-improving
performance, large area flexible displays, decreasing cost and new
applications
