Edison Initiates Coverage on Thin Film Electronics
LONDON, June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Edison Investment Research, a leading international investment research firm,
announces the initiation of full coverage of Thin Film Electronics (THIN:OSL), a
Norway-based company developing technology that enables printing of high-volume, low-cost
disposable electronics, which will help make ubiquitous computing and the 'internet of
things' a reality.
Thinfilm's technology enables the production of memory using standard industrial
roll-to-roll printing techniques and organic materials. The production of low-cost printed
electronics compared to well-established silicon-based electronics opens up a substantial
opportunity to develop low-value, high-volume applications (eg brand protection, sensor
tags) and to accelerate the "Internet of things". Thinfilm's technology can already be
used to make passive array memory and further development is underway to expand the number
of logic components that can be printed to make more complex electronic products.
Thinfilm's strategy is to demonstrate what can be made by establishing in-house production
capacity, before licensing the technology "copy-exact" to customers in target markets.
Thinfilm has signed several significant commercial contracts to develop products,
including brand protection, smart labels and temperature sensor tags. Production is
expected to ramp from H213, with the first licensing agreements in 2014 and 70% of volume
from licensing partners by 2016. Key risks include scaling production, achieving targeted
production yields, the ability to access funds, and customer adoption and product
roadmaps.
