Innovative LED foil technology attracts Russian investment
Flexbright is commercializing innovative LED foils, the lighting technology of which has been created in close cooperation with PrintoCent and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland which is the biggest multitechnological applied research organisation in Northern Europe.
Flexbright has attracted international attention, especially in Russia, where capital investment company NNCRM has signed a contract with Flexbright. NNCRM (Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials Centre of the Republic of Mordovia) is part of Russia’s state capital investment company Rusnano’s Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs (FIEP).
The foils can be coupled with sensors and can be controlled wirelessly. LED foils are suitable for a number of indoor applications, and they can be embedded in to structures, walls and furniture and into both indoor and outdoor advertisements. The lighting environment can be controlled as part of the overall building automation.
The technology is based on roll-to-roll mass production, high illumination power, IoT properties, low energy consumption and the ultrathin, flexible structure (less than 1 mm in thickness). The flexible lighting foil has high resistance to heat and humidity. As only light-weight structures are required, the technology enables raw materials to be saved.
Flexbright is currently seeking partners to make LED technology applications and also displaying an interest in companies working with IoT technologies.
