SuperFlex™
Flexible Lighting
 |
| SuperFlex can be applied to fabrics and remains lit when crushed, twisted or pierced. |
Many new or developing technologies based on electroluminescent (EL) technology are reshaping today’s flexible lighting and functional display industries. For many years, these industries have depended on cathode ray tubes (CRTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs), each having their own limitations.
Capitalizing on the unique properties afforded by electroactive polymers, Crosslink developed SuperFlex™, a new electroluminescent lighting technology. The name says it all—ultra flexible, durable and lightweight.
SuperFlex™ Can Integrate With Your Product
Its distinctive, ultra flexible nature makes SuperFlex technology highly adaptable to your needs and requirements. Because SuperFlex is a customizable set of inks based on conductive polymers, it can be integrated with a variety of materials. From textiles and composites to plastics and metals—no other alternative technology is this adaptable. SuperFlex inks are applied to substrates as coatings through traditional printing processes, such as screen printing.

Key Benefits Durable. SuperFlex is crushable, able to withstand more than 100 crush cycles in the Gelbo flex test. Panels will remain lit in abusive environments, withstanding piercing, abrasion, twisting and compression. SuperFlex often outlasts the substrates or material it is applied to.
Variety. SuperFlex can be customized to fit any color and size. Specific colors, including white, blue, and green, can be engineered for function, safety, style and integration with graphical overlays. We can coat materials as small as a cell phone button or as large as a billboard or point-of-purchase display.
Bright. SuperFlex can be used to create soft white, solid-state lighting bright enough for use in a variety of areas from shelters, tents and stairways to the insides of automobiles, aircraft, and living rooms. SuperFlex technology creates a uniformly diffuse light source rather than “point sources” of light like in incandescent and LED bulbs, so SuperFlex can be used to create large area light-emitting surfaces.
Cool. SuperFlex is cool to the touch and flame resistant. It has zero heat emissions so it’s easy to handle and can be packed up quickly, if needed.
