New roll-to-roll processes meet the diverse demands of rapidly developing markets for flexible electronics and advanced optical industries. Mobile devices and the “Internet of Things” are driving growth for flexible electronics, radio-frequency identification (RFID), bio-medical devices and batteries. Touch panels are shifting from glass-based to polymeric roll-to-roll (R2R) based substrates providing truly flexible, bendable, foldable and rollable displays. And, advanced window films are being used for buildings and cars to effectively reduce energy consumption.
