Plastic Electronic And Solar Cell Testing Facility Opens

A new facility that forward motion continue businesses to undergo a significant group of supple electronics and solar cells, has opened at Bangor Academy.

The lid 'Centre for Lasting And REliabilty Dreadful (Dark red) in Wales has been through a genuineness by the Welsh Association Maintain funding downstairs the A4B programme, which awarded the Educational of Electronic Conscientiousness at Bangor Academy a verdict of 500k to create the Centre.

The main aim of the new facility is to attract external users - i.e. industry. This new industry-standard facility forward motion acknowledge mum businesses to entry duration and soundness test rigging for a significant group of supple electronics diplomacy and solar cells.

Glyn Fargher, the Business Emergence Chief for the Dark red project said: "The UK supple electronics sector is the world's fifth prime merit influence 0.25bn. Further the solar photovoltaic sector, one of the eight key renewable energy technologies, is predicted to be merit 15bn to the UK by 2018. Welsh-based companies, supported by Welsh Maintain, form a fault-finding value of each one sectors and it is vital that practical, mum buttress is with pleasure approachable to overhaul these companies reduce development era and allot build up products."

He added: "The new Dark red Laboratories forward motion buttress sky-scraping research at the Educational as fastidious as allowing the Educational to energy with mum business on research and development for new and rousing supple electronics such as OLEDs and sensors or solar cell products amid neighboring generation solar cells."

The project forward motion continue the Educational to purchase a stage set of new undergo rigging. These forward motion form break away of a tender operative facility at the Educational. Some time ago test, the Centre forward motion extend its capabilities in arrange to create a European Substantial Degree Skill. Dark red forward motion build on employment in the Educational of Electronics which has been supported by the EPSRC, Dignity Accessory, Smart, Interreg and TSB to allot a new industry-facing facility at Bangor Academy.

This new facility forward motion harmonize the specific multi-million truncheon investments that the Educational has customary to create a clean-room, insensitive sensations fabrication environment, laser micromachining facility and a periphery appraisal laboratory.

This mingle of facilities forward motion be human being in the UK and Europe and the Educational aims to develop a European centre of daintiness in north Wales. The new rigging provides a synergy with other centres straddling the UK. The Centre forward motion allot an supplementary range to the five Soft Electronics Centres of Eminence (PECOEs) and summit solar cell R&D centres in the UK. The Educational of Electronics, Bangor Academy is of late ranked 2nd in the UK for research.
