Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

This webinar will help to clarify the real market opportunities for 5G from different perspectives, including: User equipment adoption, 5G station deployment, Active antennas, New trend in RF components, Materials challenges,and Emerging use cases

Researchers dipped their new, printed sensors into tuna broth and watched the readings. It turned out the sensors - printed with high-resolution aerosol jet printers on a flexible polymer film and tuned to test for histamine, an allergen and indicator of spoiled fish and meat - can detect histamine down to 3.41 parts per million.

Liquid X, an advanced manufacturer of functional metallic inks with engineering design and prototype-to-production manufacturing capabilities, announced that its proprietary, particle-free silver ink used to create e-textiles and other functional textiles has received the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certification.

Researchers have challenged the idea that touchscreens are limited to 2D and rectangular shapes by developing an interactive display that can be sprayed in any shape.

A smart surface that can actively and repeatedly release and reabsorb substances by environmental stimuli.

The conductive ink market is diverse. This is shown in the schematic below, showing the commercialization status of diverse spectrum applications. This diversity is both a blessing and a curse.

In the not-too-distant future, flexible electronics will open the door to new products like foldable phones, tablets that can be rolled, paper-thin displays and wearable sensors that monitor health data. Developing these new bendy products, however, means using materials like new plastics and thin films to replace the rigid circuit boards and bulky electronic components that currently occupy the interiors of cell phones and other gadgets.

In this article we discuss emissive QDs. This is potentially the ultimate display technology since it can offer printability, ultra-narrow FWHM and thus ultranarrow color gamut, high efficacy, etc. The challenges are however many, and the technology roadmap is long.

New research on the two-dimensional material graphene has allowed researchers to create smart adaptive clothing which can lower the body temperature of the wearer in hot climates.
