Semprius is developing low cost, high performance concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules to make solar power generation economically viable in sunny, dry climates. The companyâ€™s unique micro-transfer printing technology enables CPV modules with high performance, high reliability and low cost with scalability to high-volume production.

Semprius is also licensing its micro-transfer printing technology for non-solar applications to enable a wide variety of new products requiring large-area, thin, lightweight form factors.
Applications include flat- panel displays, flexible electronics, large-area sensors, RF devices and other applications requiring heterogeneous integration of high-performance semiconductors.

Semprius, Inc. was founded in 2005 and is based in Durham, North Carolina.
