Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

Printed circuit boards are vital components of modern electronics. However, once they have served their purpose, they are often burned or buried in landfills, polluting the air, soil and water.

CPI is hosting the innoLAE Industry Day 2020, an event uniting large corporates, SMEs and the associated supply chain in the printed electronics industry to discuss the latest commercial developments.

A new method could enable researchers to fabricate more efficient and longer lasting perovskite solar cells, LEDs and photodetectors. By growing thin perovskite films on substrates with different compositions, engineers have invented a way of fabricating perovskite single crystals with precisely deformed, or strained, structures.

The company specializes in developing photovoltaically active shading systems based on Organic Photovoltaic Technology (OPV), producing OPV curtains for all kinds of applications, and marketing them through its partners.

Successful demonstration of the ability to make high-performance GaN Field-Effect Transistors directly on thin, flexible and rollable metal foil substrates. These transistors can be produced without the need for a transfer step and can be integrated side-by-side with microLED emitters for use in a display.

Physicists have used computer modeling to refine the melting curve of graphite that has been studied for over 100 years, with inconsistent findings. They also found that graphene "melting" is in fact sublimation.

E Ink Holdings announced the expansion of its color ePaper offerings to address applications within signage, retail, education and consumer electronics.
