TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Converting Technical Institute and JTB Communication Design will hold the first ever “JFlex” flexible device material and converting technology exhibition at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, January 30th to Friday, February 1st, 2019.
As a special part of the JFlex kickoff event, we will welcome Kenji Natsume, a former sit-skier (World Championship 2017, World Cup, and PyeongChang Paralympics) and member of RDS, to join a panel discussion with a rehabilitation center expert and a sensor manufacturer working towards practical motion sensing and piezoelectric textile clothing. Under the keywords of “sports” and “rehabilitation,” the three panel members will discuss the current challenges and future outlook of such equipment from the perspective of the manufacturing techniques required for design and fabrication. In addition, they will also offer their thoughts on the use of data from vitals sensors. We hope you take this opportunity to check out the future technologies that will enable a “Wellness Society” in which athletes and sports lovers, as well as all people, will have a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle in the near future.
JFlex will also feature many products and technologies of interest, including flexible hybrid electronics, ultra-thin glass sheets, and thin-film batteries. We hope that you take this opportunity to experience the now of the flexible devices that are changing the future.

[2T-08] Flat glass bending technology
We create opportunities to provide this technology. This is the world's first thin plate glass bending technology.
Our unique techniques using this technology does not cause heat shock and bent glass will not crack.
Heating is carried out in certain areas which enables bending the parts you want to bend in a short amount of time.
