Indro Mukerjee, Plastic Logic CEO gives an insight into the creation of exciting new concepts, which sometimes lead to new technologies. Going from concepts on slides through to actual first proof of concept and then real industrialisation is, however, a very rare journey indeed. Indro gives an insight into the Plastic Logic has industrialised the production of the first new transistor for decades and used this capability to create the world’s first mass produced flexible display.
