Company
Nano ePrint was formed in 2006 following pioneering research at the University of Manchester in the UK. Nano ePrint’s technology enables planar nanoelectronic circuits that can uniquely be fabricated in a single layer of semiconductor via single-step patterning using proven imprint processes. Nano ePrint’s devices achieve substantially higher performance than conventional printed electronics while dramatically reducing circuit size and cost.
Nano ePrint has also developed a configurable circuit architecture to deliver the world’s first printed programmable logic circuits, allowing one design to simultaneously address multiple applications. The Nano ePrint approach opens up prospects for low-cost, high-performance printed electronics across a wide range of market opportunities – not just ultra high volume “killer applications”.
