Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

The 3D printing market is diverse; certain materials and applications are seeing significant commercial growth while others are still overcoming technical and economic barriers to adoption.

Plastic Logic has announced a new flexible 5.4in colour display that is set to revolutionise smart wearable devices.

Prismade has brought its PrismaID technology to a new level. The new solution aims to protect valuable and sensitive documents like cards, contracts or certificates with an easy-to-use security label and connect them to digital services. This innovative technology is a scalable B2B solution offered to businesses with a high need of authentication and discretion during document related processes.

Ynvisible Interactive Inc is pleased to provide the following corporate update (all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars).

Silicon solar cells have been steadily improved over the past decades and have already reached a very high level of development. However, the disturbing effect of recombination still occurs after the absorption of sunlight and the photovoltaic generation of electrical charge carriers. In this process, negative and positive charge carriers that have already been generated combine and cancel each other out before they could be used for the flow of solar electricity. This effect can be countered by special materials that have a special property - passivation.

Micro-LED, believed by many as the next-generation display technology, has been pursued by players of LED, display, OEM, materials and so on. It is also widely believed by many that Micro-LED displays are the replacement of OLED displays, especially in TV applications.

Current research on flexible electronics is paving the way for wireless sensors that can be worn on the body and collect a variety of medical data. But where do the data go? Without a similar flexible transmitting device, these sensors would require wired connections to transmit health data.

Graphene excels at removing contaminants from water, but it's not yet a commercially viable use of the wonder material. That could be changing.

InnovationLab has been selected by the Organic and Printed Electronics Association as the winner of the 'Best Prototype / New Product' category at the OE-A Competition 2021.
