With the end of the year in sight IDTechEx looks back and reviews what has been new in the world of printed electronics in the last 12 months.

IDTechEx Research has just released its latest RFID report titled "RFID Forecasts, Players and Opportunities 2018-2028" which provides one of the most thorough and comprehensive industry assessments yet.

In this presentation, we provide an update on various companies active in the quantum dot (QD) business.

Dr Peter Harrop discusses the history of FEP and the development of the company in the field of organic electronics, as well as their plans for the future.

From 2019 we will come to a world with flexible electronics and batteries to power these devices have attracted tremendous attention. These devices may require batteries with special mechanical properties or form factors. For more details about thin, flexible and printed batteries, please refer to IDTechEx's report Flexible, Printed and Thin Film Batteries 2019-2029.

IDTechEx finds that the total market for printed, flexible and organic electronics in 2018 is $31.6 Billion. This is based on new research conducted by IDTechEx for the report Flexible, Printed and Organic Electronics 2019-2029.

IDTechEx CEO, Raghu Das gives an overview on what to expect at the IDTechEx Show! next month in Santa Clara.

Earlier this week, VivaLNK formally announced partnership with Reckitt Benckiser (RB) to distribute a wearable continuous temperature monitor worldwide.

Olympian Sportsman, KONE, Jabil and BYD feature as Cornerstones of the IDTechEx Show!

This premium article from IDTechEx Research looks at opportunities for printed and flexible electronics in the smart card industry.

Quantum materials are excellent narrowband emitters. As such, most application discussions have focused on display and lighting applications where it can expand color gamut, efficiency, CRI and other parameters.

Genes'Ink is a world leader in advanced materials and formulations for the printed & flexible electronics market.

Quantum dots (QDs) are often billed as the ultimate, or at least as the next generation of, phosphors. The main driver often is the QDs' ability to act as ultra-narrowband downconverters, resulting in extremely wide color gamut displays and efficient and high CRI solid state LED lights.

The uptake of STEM subjects by women and other minorities is crucial for myriad reasons, for instance boosting economic activity and closing the pay gender gap, to name but two.

Integration of sensors and electronics into smart textile applications for the sport industry.

IDTechEx spoke to Boréas Technologies' Founder and CEO Simon Chaput about their product and their ambitions to disrupt the haptics market today.

In this article we introduce in-mold electronics and consider its value proposition. Next, we will examine the requirements from IME compatible materials such as stretchability, stability, adhesion, etc. Finally, we will consider how the menu of IME materials is evo

IDTechEx CEO Mr Raghu Das interviews Steven Bagshaw of UK-CPI, discussing the projects they are currently working on in the smart packaging industry and how this sector interacts with the printed electronics and energy storage sectors.

It took a decade and half to enable the first commercial products using flexible barrier or thin film encapsulation technologies. Contrary to some assumptions however, this success does not mean that the question of barrier technology is forever settled. Indeed, there is still much work to do to render flexible barrier technology a ubiquitous, widely-available, and low-cost component in devices of all sizes, sensitivity levels, flexibility degrees, and so on.

Graphene is not a young material: the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2010 and the first pioneering firms were established before that c. 2006. Graphene thus has more than a decade of commercial experience already. As IDTechEx have argued previously, after all this time, graphene is becoming increasingly available and affordable and is finally findings its first wave of volume markets. In this article, we will look at the evolution of graphene commercialization so far and will offer some insights about the future.
