Plastic Logic Device Showcases Organic Transistors

Today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Plastic Logic announced the details of the first consumer product based on organic transistors, a technology that's been limited to the lab for the past 20 years. The company's thin, lightweight e-reader, called the Que, uses organic transistors to power a black and white, touch-sensitive display made by E Ink, an electronic paper company. Such transistors can be built on lightweight plastic backings.

Logical reader: The long-awaited Que is the first consumer product to feature Plastic Logic's organic transistor technology.
