Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 14 February titled A Market Outlook for the Aerogel Industry.

For over 16 years IDTechEx analysts have studied the printed electronics market in all its guises - organic, flexible and hybrid electronics. There have been tremendous successes such as OLED displays and conductive ink for PV, touch screens and bio sensors. There has also been tremendous investment creating new enabling materials, processes and components that will enable new capabilities and differentiate and improve products.

In this brief slide deck, we briefly outline the key aspects and challenges of growing high-quality graphene as an electronic substrate. This could take the form of a film of graphene on a wafer or another substrate. Therefore, we will consider chemical vapour deposition as well as epitaxial growth. Here, we will also outline some of the R&D progress on this topic. This slide presentation will be the first of two presentations. The second one will consider the use of graphene as an electronic material.

In-mold electronics (IME) is a process of integrating printed decorations and electronic circuitry with thermoforming and molding.

The speech user interface landscape is changing, as described in IDTechEx's brand-new report "Voice, Speech, Conversation-Based User Interface 2019-2029: Technology, Player, Market".

In this slide presentation, we will first give a brief introduction to the basic operation of thin film transistors, also distinguishing them from wafer-based transistor technologies.

NEO Tech AMT GmbH is one of the leading companies developing systems for 3D Printed Electronics (3D PE). The company installed the first 5 axis 3D PE system in 2010. Rapid advances lead to the first commercial installation for mass production for printed 3D circuits in mobile communications devices in 2015.

Advancements in material science and material processing will always play a central role in any technological progression. IDTechEx has been providing leading market analysis on a broad range of advanced materials and their technology analysts have given their pick of the key news stories from 2018.

As the result of a heritage that includes 3M and Kodak, Carestream applies more than 100 years of coating leadership to deliver innovation in roll-to-roll coating.

New enabling alignment technology ready for the market. Potential applications in Medical Technology, Display Technology and Thermal Interface Materials. Raghu Das from IDTechEx interviews CTO Dr. Hemmen about the status of the technology, customer value and market.
