the EU in another (robotics) and Asia has the advantage in the third (displays). Evidence was gathered from the practical experience of innovative firms through fifteen case studies five from each sub-sector.

Novaled, E Ink, CDT and Plastic Logic in displays; and in robotics, Shadow Robot, R. U. Robots;

Display Technologies and Robotics In this Chapter we put forward an overview of the technological evolution of each sub-sector, specifically with regard to the factors affecting innovation performance in the EU and the USA for:

Web services, Display technologies, Robotics. Annual global revenues for the three sub-sectors show their relative significance,

with web services estimated at about $92 billion (about €70 billion), 3 flat panel displays worth about $99 billion (about €75 billion) 4 and robotics valued at about $25 billion

Initially both the USA and the EU have contributed significant technological developments in display technologies, jostling for the lead in the early stage innovation in novel screen technologies (for 3 SCF Associates Ltd estimate based on the nine top web service providers'revenues in 2010

Display technology needs much more post-innovation effort in commercialization, since the development stages of mass-market products (see value chain in Appendix 2) require‘crossing the valley of death'to initial production and then full-scale industrial volumes for a mass market of displays for mobile phones,

tablets and PCS and other consumer electronics. In this subsector the EU has lost practically any initiative,

and e-paper offered a brief opportunity for European firms to re-enter the displays market.

The EU has been largely absent from the displays market for the past two decades. Characterized as a high volume production commodity market, production has moved mainly to Asia, especially Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

The current generation of flat panel displays 22 (LCDS) has required tight cost controls and large amounts of capital investment.

Samsung and LG Display), Japan (e g. Sharp) and Taiwan (e g. AU Optronics) have demonstrated over the past two decades that they have capabilities far in advance of European

Asian manufacturers are starting mass production in the next generation display screens. LG and Samsung are reported to be investing some $17 billion (€13 billion) between 2011 and 2015 in OLEDS. 9 Until recently,

It is perhaps for this reason that a global cartel in LCD screens materialized among the ten largest suppliers controlling 80%of the market.

It has bought also Panasonic's Mobara LCD plant to convert it to OLED displays, planning for mass production of OLED screens by 2013.

In this way, the Japanese will build mass market scale in mobile phone and tablet size screens (3 to 12) for the expected market expansion from 2013 to 2016.

Thus the future display screens market is likely to be dominated by the largest Asian flat screen producers,

Kodak recently sold its OLED patents to LG Display of Korea, who also acquired some patents from Philips. Meanwhile,

Hence one cannot cite the USA's innovation in displays as being hugely successful, and more so than those of the EU. Apple, HP, IBM, Motorola and other very large US producers of ICTS using displays tend to be users of existing technology,

buying it in from others, rarely originators. Moreover, the role of government support in such US innovation

E-Ink's technology became highly attractive to larger display screen manufacturers, especially its partner who had perfected

Although the Apple Macintosh did break new ground (with its injection of intellectual capital from Xerox PARC) it still relied on supply of the latest technologies from outside Apple (for its bit-mapped screen

Korea's LG has acquired now significant assets that make it one of the key players in the next generation of display technologies. 2. 3 Robotics In this sub-sector,

However, the USA has been much less successful in those technologies that require longer term investment and support such as robotics and displays.

of innovative organic flexible displays, based on its proprietary technology for plastic electronics, Plasticpaper. Over the last twelve years, the company has developed a technology that enables silicon to be replaced by plastic in integrated circuits

and so created a flexible electronic display with a continuous substrate. Commercial application of the technology yields display modules that are claimed to be more robust

flexible, lighter and cleaner to manufacture than traditional glass and silicon displays. They can be far larger and lower cost than conventional displays, potentially with higher process yields in manufacture.

Using this display technology, the company is developing a second-generation e-reader product. Plastic Logic sees itself as leading a revolution in visual information technology.

Founded in 2000 by researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge university in the UK, Plastic Logic now has its R&d centre in Cambridge, with a high-volume, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dresden, Germany and product engineering,

At the time, the Cavendish Laboratory was developing inkjet printing to deposit polymer light emitting diodes (P-LEDS) on substrates for displays,

so that by 2006 it had developed its plastic transistor technology sufficiently to produce a display with a million transistors.

The company then produced a key application for its display an e-reader product for business, the Pro-Reader.

Of this, some US$100 million was raised in late 2006 to build an advanced manufacturing plant in Dresden for display modules for electronic readers

and finally abandoned in August 2010 amidst rising competition for portable electronic displays and e-readers.

to advance electronic ink further with display developments based on this technology. Since incorporation, E Ink has advanced gradually both the core technology of the electrophoretic materials

and the applications for electronic ink displays selling micro-encapsulated ink imaging films and prototyping kits.

In 2009, the epaper display module market was expected to grow to over $3 billion by 2013, with the emergence of colour displays and flexible displays, for the ebook and etextbook

At that time, electrophoretic display technology had more than 90%market share in the overall epaper displays, and E Ink was the leading supplier of electrophoretic materials.

when it successfully microencapsulated a micromechanical display system, creating a flexible display material with excellent reflectivity,

The patented microencapsulation process enables suspension of display material in an ink form with design

The resulting‘electronic ink'has many applications, from point-of-sale signs in retail stores, to next generation displays in mobile phones, tablets and electronic books.

However E Ink did not go into volume production of its electronic ink films as part of an electronic display.

and assemble all into a electronic paper display product. Thus E Ink, through PVI, seeded the e-reader market from 2005 on

It then partnered with E Ink on production of displays for electronic books, such as Sony's e-reader and the Amazon Kindles.

Also PVI invested heavily in dedicated driver chips and most importantly, the touch screens for epaper, as well as flexible displays for future products.

The E Ink deal was the final step in the transformation at PVI over the period 2005-2009 into a specialist in electronic paper displays.

It secured its supply of a critical component during the rapid growth phase of the e-reader market.

Sony launched its PRS-700 Reader with an integrated touch screen using E-Ink display film.

PVI, Epson, LG Display, Polymervision, Hewlett-packard and Plastic Logic have demonstrated all flexible active matrix displays using E Ink Vizplex imaging film.

as part of a joint development for the use of electronic ink in handheld device displays.

TOPPAN, a Japanese printing technology company, added to its initial $5 million investment in 2001, with a further $25 million,

This portfolio provides wide coverage as E-ink holds patents not only for displays, but also for methods of manufacturing the required materials, processes for assembling finished displays,

and techniques for integrating the displays into finished products. While many of E Ink's patents are focused on electronic paper

some have broader applicability in fields like organic electronics and flexible semiconductor manufacturing. It has over 100 additional patent applications pending.

Kodak has announced that it will stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames in 2012, focusing on photo printing,

In 1999, after 20 years of continued research, Kodak in partnership with Sanyo (SK Display Corporation) produced the first OLED display.

OLED pioneer Kodak believed that its OLED display screens would displace liquid crystal displays (LCDS) in digital cameras and a range of other electronic products.

A joint venture with Sanyo was started in 2003 called SK to mass-produce OLED screens for Kodak and other manufacturers.

the first camera to feature an AMOLED display, proved to be the high point though,

The company also developed manufacturing equipment and technologies around its chosen approach to producing full-colour displays:

enabling CMEL to use Kodak technology for active matrix OLED modules in a variety of small to medium size display applications. 88 Kodak also explored the use of OLEDS as a lighting solution,

with things turning from bad to worse, Kodak sold its OLED-related assets to LG for a reported $100 m. Thus, after 40 years of fundamental research, materials and device development, display manufacturing,

the inventor and first developer of OLED displays exited the business. Kodak's small molecule technology, in the form of materials and intellectual property, enabled OLED to become a mass-production display technology,

with numerous display developers licensing Kodak technology and manufacturing using vapour deposition through fine metal masks.

The vast majority of OLED displays produced to date use Kodak's technology and/or materials in some form.

This has enabled what is now a billion-dollar industry on the verge of even significant growth according to analysts Display Search.

LG formed a new company, Global OLED Technology (GOT), to exploit Kodak's two thousand OLED related patents,

Samsung the dominant player in LCD technology, announced in February 2012 that it was spinning off its LCD business, Samsung Display,

In a parallel move, it was rumoured that Samsung Mobile Display (the OLED company formed in 2008) would be brought fully under the control of Samsung Electronics.
