Thin Film Electronics ASA, a Norwegian technology company, has secured a contract to make sample products for identifying parts included in customized manufactured hardware. These prototypes will use Thinfilm Memory, a non-volatile, rewriteable ferroelectric memory, to record configuration of parts in a sample system. The company will deliver the prototypes in the second quarter of 2012.
The Thinfilm Memory was initially distributed for applications in games and toys. The latest order represents the company’s first sample contract for printed memory in a new market. The company’s new customer specializes in security products and manufactures systems that can be tailored to almost all 1 M configurations.
According to Davor Sutija, Chief Executive Officer at ThinFilm, the special form factor of Thinfilm Memory that is thinner and flexible than a human hair, combined with magnetic field resistance and low cost factor, has attracted customers’ interest in this latest application.
ThinFilm’s Vice President, North America, Jennifer Ernst added that Thinfilm Passive Array Memory will increase the quantity of parts information stored in a thin profile.
Thin Film Electronics offers fully printed non-volatile, rewritable memory for applications in sensor, logistics, games, toys and ID systems. The company’s head office is located in Oslo, Norway, while product development is carried out in Linköping, Sweden. The sales offices are based in Tokyo, Japan and San Francisco, USA.
