The Pelikon pSEL InterfaceDisplay is set to revolutionise applications it is sited within.
To date Pelikon has shipped more than one million pSEL displays for consumer electronics applications.
The fundamentally high speed and low cost manufacturing process, coupled with the thin, robust and lightweight composition of the pSEL display panel, mean it is suitable for most domestic consumer electronics applications.
The new line equipment, which has been under development for a year, will be fully operational from March and represents an additional investment of over GBP 500,000 by Pelikon.
It signifies the strengthening of Pelikon's standing in the global display manufacturing marketplace.
'This investment will enable us to fulfil the demand we are creating through introducing our proven pSEL technology into new applications and geographies', said Mike Powell, Managing Director.
He continued that: 'This increased capacity puts us in an even greater position to meet our growing customers' needs'.
