 Hi, I'm Shri Parvemba chair for marketing at SID. We are here at the iZone and for the first time ever We have an entry and the exhibit from India. This is professor Deepak from SID chapter in India and Deepak welcome. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me here Would you kindly explain what it is that you're demonstrating here at the iZone? Yes So we are a national center for flexible electronics and in this Government gave us support we proposed and government gave us support to build this display and flexible electronics Capacity in India in absence of Silicon technology. This is the area We think that we can start manufacturing in India That's what our target is and for this we have set up a center which is run By a separate staff of about 50 people and IIT Kanpur manages it and we've taken a whole host of products in flexible electronics, but we are very focused on what would be India's specific application Here is an example. So if you look at these products, which I'm showing here. These are They these are seven segment display made out of OLEDs, but this is a very simple Matter. However, what is underneath behind it is a cost-cutting measure The target is that it should match the price of LED so that it can it becomes commercially viable as you know There's no any LED manufacturing in India. So this will enable manufacturing using OLEDs seven segment displays in swing scales in elevators except For example, for example, this is a We're on fifth floor and if you want to go down to the third floor Here it is this is how the elevator would look like and using OLED which can be stuck on on a very thin layer We make we make passive metric displays. These are passive matrix display passive matrix displays that we have made and To support the display industry, which we think is coming up right now a large company is trying to set up a LCD Manufacturing in India to support its activities We are doing training and we also making TFT back planes for them. These are indium gallium zinc oxide TFT back planes They are going to go with a silicon based technology But this is there this will be going to be their next generation work Which is already starting in our center to support such activities. We make inks. These are printable inks These are printable inks made out of silver and copper ink jet able and screen printable Some of the samples are shown here and very innovative products such as These pens which are silver ink pens and you can write it This is conducting ink and you can write this for kids to make circuits Out of use a pen and make circuits out of it As you know India unique applications are possible. Here's another Another come this is spin-off which is coming out of our center, which is about anti counterfeiting And anti-counterfeits is a problem Yes, so we want to have a anti counterfeiting solution and this is a we think a foolproof solution Which we are trying to provide similarly if you look at coming on the healthcare side or We're looking at things which are for best best cancer detection using flexible electronics We're looking at sensors for detecting food spoilage. We're looking at a unique applications where milk Adulteration happens, so we're looking at flexible sensors at the collection centers for milk and And that's it. We're working with company one company There's been off coming out of these inks and the anti counterfeiting for this whole host of solutions We are looking at to Coming out of this Thank you so much for explaining that I know you've been associated with this ID for many years and More recently you've taken on the task of reinvigorating the SIDs activities in India You alluded to the fact you alluded to the fact that there is a likely LCD fab coming up in India Which did not exist before in the last several years. There's been no Display manufacturing there. I presume one of the challenges that you have that you're trying to solve is all of these different industries that are emerging would need Trained students, right? That's one of the things that you're doing in your institute. Can you tell us a little bit more about? You know what is interesting about the changes that are happening in the market right now in India that will cost some young person Whether they are in school or about to go into school to obtain the kind of training that you're imparting so that they can be Participate in that industry. Yes So our activity started almost 10 years ago on displays when another company by my name of Samtl Which was interested in displays and that's how our chapter also got set up and that's how we started making OLD displays But unfortunately that company did not go into the display business So there's a kind of lull in our chapter But now with a likelihood of a new setup on LCD fab coming up in India So we have active we are becoming active again in the display sector and we're trying to get more and more members included in it We will have to as you said rightly said we'll have to support this with a lot of you know trained manpower Because there's absolutely no other display activity in the country We are the only University where this chapter is located where we have courses on displays. So we are trying to Re-invigorate those courses. We're trying to video record it We're trying to make it available to these two different institutions in India So even across the world across the world also will be available on YouTube So we're trying to record those from next in a next from July These lectures will be recorded and these will be available for a different NITs So there's students graduating from those colleges have also a different display exposure And if these companies come up, they can hire from all these places And display is such a area unless someone gets into it. It's more difficult to start. It's very difficult to start So hopefully with this, you know, these courses becoming available Some people will get interested and there's more likelihood of this, you know, this kind of activity growing further. Wonderful Well, thank you so much for being at iZone for everything that you do for SID in India. I wish you good luck. Thank you
