LONDON — British display screen maker Plastic Logic has won the promise of a $650 million investment from Rusnano, the Financial Times said Tuesday in an unsourced report.
Rusnano will take an immediate stake of about 25 percent in Plastic Logic in exchange for an initial injection of $150 million, the newspaper said, adding that the Russian government may eventually take control as more financing becomes available. Plastic Logic makes screens that could be used in the fast-growing electronic book market. It was founded in 2000 in the Cambridge technology research hub, but its main manufacturing facility is in Germany.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
