Plastic Logic has entered into a development partnership with PrintLess Plans to produce the Zephyr E-portfolio, a touch-sensitive display for plans for on-site use by the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

Plastic Logic and PrintLess Plans have worked together to develop a medium format flexible display for use on-and-off site by the AEC industry. PrintLess Plans selected Plastic Logic’s display technology as the best suited to the application. A working prototype was shown at GreenBuild International Conference and Expo, Philadelphia, PA.

Previous attempts to replace hard copy plans on construction sites have largely failed due to the challenges of making a sufficiently large display which is robust, lightweight, low power and can be folded or rolled up.

Plastic Logic’s electrophoretic display (EPD) meets these criteria. The technology is unbreakable, flexible, daylight-readable, lightweight and only uses power to update the image. The EPD offering combines Plastic Logic’s unique flexible OTFT backplane with technology from E Ink, the market leader for flexible EPD materials.

The project timescales have been aggressive, but commenting on this, Indro Mukerjee, CEO Plastic Logic said, “With our experience, fast prototyping and agile manufacturing capabilities, we are able to make such ideas become reality. Plastic Logic and PrintLess Plans are looking forward to demonstrating the future of the on-site plan display to the 30,000 attendees at GreenBuild.”
