Printed electronics utilise high-speed and low-cost printing technologies to manufacture electronics in a wide variety of form factors, including on thin and flexible materials.

Using printing techniques and functional materials, electronic circuits can be manufactured more efficiently and in higher volumes when compared to traditional fabrication methods, according to Xaar.

CEO of the Norwegian non-volatile polymer memory technology provider, Johan Carlsson said: “Last year we demonstrated the world's first functional, fully printed memory together with Xaar. We will now prove our technology's manufacturability using industry standard ink-jet equipment for high volumes.”

News of the agreement saw Xaar's shares grow almost one per cent to 230.5p.
