Why work with us
The NRC has an extensive and proven experience in electronics. We print functional components required for flexible and low-cost electronics for many applications:
- Thin-film transistor (TFT) devices and logic circuits
- Non-volatile memory
- Conductors, resistors, capacitors and inductors
- Solar cells
- Sensors
- Transparent conductive films
- Radio frequency antennas
We validate and de-risk the introduction of new materials into processes and devices, such as electrodes, conductive circuits and TFTs.
