[{"type":"text","content":"Ynvisible and Partners Collaborate to Introduce Printed Electrochromics to Designers of Consumer ProductsConsortium including Ynvisible awarded $10.7M over four years to empower creative industries to design and build aesthetically pleasing practical human interfaces for smart consumer goodsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2018) - Ynvisible Interactive Inc. (TSXV: YNV) (\"Ynvisible\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that in partnership with a consortium of 14 European partner companies and research institutions it has kicked off a project to enhance the integration of printed electrochromics (\"EC\") into consumer products at the level of the product design community.The project, codenamed DecoChrom (for \"Decorative Applications for Self-Organized Molecular Electrochromic Systems\") has been granted up to €6.68M ($10.7M) from the European Union's Horizon 2020 program over four years under the call topic \"Advanced materials and innovative design for improved functionality and aesthetics in high added value consumer goods\". DecoChrom's primary objective is to technologically elevate printed graphics products into the age of interactivity. The multidisciplinary consortium brings together state-of-the-art leaders in design, chemistry, printing, coatings and laminates, and electronics integration, to ynvisible's offering of complete printed electrochromics solutions. DecoChrom's mission is to bring ultra low-power interactive graphics solutions for smart consumer products to print industry compatibility and generally accepted standards of mass production. Technologically, the project will advance EC material properties and EC film integration into a widening range of high value-added consumer goods. Manufacturing integration onto paper, high-pressure laminates, and durable 3D plastic parts will also be developed from prototyping through to industrial scale capability. DecoChrom will also deliver toolkits for both designer-developers and the printing industry to facilitate the penetration of ECs in new product creation. The design community will be engaged and inspired with the possibilities of EC displays through inspirational prototypes created by the project team and a series of hands-on workshops. More than 20 creative industry lead end-user prototypes will be designed and produced in th...
