Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

The University of Texas at San Antonio strengthens multifunctional electronic materials and devices research by acquisition of CERADROP hybrid 3D digital deposition platform.

IDTechEx is hosting a free webinar 'New Technologies for Metal 3D Printing' on Tuesday 8 August.

Toppan Forms Co Ltd has developed a technology for forming printed micro wires, which enables a wire width of 4 micrometers that is almost invisible to the naked eye.

A team of researchers has developed a technique for printing flexible electronics that uses laser driven micro-bubbles to write or make patterns on transparent surfaces.

Renewed investigation of a molecule that was originally synthesized with the goal of creating a unique light-absorbing pigment has led to the establishment of a novel design strategy for efficient light-emitting molecules with applications in next-generation displays and lighting.

A hypoallergenic electronic sensor can be worn on the skin continuously for a week without discomfort, and is so light and thin that users forget they even have it on, says a Japanese group of scientists.

The new investment follows two years of continued improvement in OPV performance, advances in manufacturing readiness and an increased engagement with customers in the retail, FMCG and IoT sectors.

Through the collaboration, Cratus will integrate Thinfilm's technology into mobile sensor platforms, enabling location sensing and tamper-evidence monitoring of high-value goods through the simple tap of a smartphone or commercial reader.

When it comes to efficiency, sometimes it helps to look to Mother Nature for advice - even in technology as advanced as printable, flexible electronics.
