About FlexEnable

FlexEnable, founded in 2015 as a spin-out from Plastic Logic, operates from Cambridge, UK, and has established itself as a key player in the field of flexible organic electronics. The company is steered by CEO Chuck Milligan, a seasoned executive with over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor, consumer electronics, and telecom markets. His background includes leading Heptagon micro-optics from a pre-revenue stage to a major industry supplier for top mobile handset companies. In late 2022, FlexEnable underwent a restructuring, with Fortress Investment Group becoming the majority shareholder, joined by Kilonova Capital and Coretronic, signaling a new phase of growth and production scaling.

Read full description

The company's core business revolves around the development and industrialization of a flexible electronics platform. Its business model is fabless, focusing on licensing its technology and supplying its proprietary FlexiOM™ materials to manufacturing partners. This approach involves technology transfer programs with display manufacturers in Asia, enabling them to produce flexible displays and optical films using their existing production lines. This strategy leverages underutilized factory capacity and accelerates market entry. Revenue is generated through these licensing agreements, technology transfer fees, and the sale of its specialized organic semiconductor materials.

FlexEnable's primary offering is a complete technology solution for manufacturing flexible Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) backplanes. This platform is distinguished by a low-temperature manufacturing process, operating below 100°C, which allows for the use of biodegradable plastic substrates like TAC film instead of glass. The resulting products are ultra-thin, lightweight, and conformable to complex curves. The core materials, branded FlexiOM™, include high-performance organic polymer semiconductors and dielectrics. This technology has enabled the world's first mass-produced consumer product with organic transistors, the Ledger Stax crypto wallet, which features an e-paper display wrapped around a 180-degree bend. Beyond consumer electronics, FlexEnable's technology serves markets such as AR/VR (for lenses and dimmers), automotive (for smart windows and curved displays), and privacy screens.
