Timeline

SCDT was formally established on March 5, 2000 through a memorandum of under-standing between SAMTEL Group of Industries and I.I.T. Kanpur. This has been a beginning of one of the most significant efforts towards meaningful industry-academia interaction to meet the challenges of emerging technologies in electronic displays. The creation of the Centre is testimony to the faith that our alumni has on IITK, the freedom that the faculty enjoys, and the values that are cherished in the academic environment of IITK.

 

Today the centre has emerged as an important R&D centre for flexible electronics. Its industry arm, the FlexE Centre is active in developing products with active industry help or through start-ups.
