Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

IDTechEx's latest report, "Sustainable Electronics Manufacturing 2023-2033", explores how the environmental impact of manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs) can be reduced through innovative materials choices and processing methods. This includes implementing low-temperature processing, eliminating superfluous wasteful steps, recycling and re-using materials where possible, and adopting novel approaches where the long-term potential is foreseen.

The most comprehensive assessment on the commercialization of flexible, wearable electronic skin patches spanning 13 applications including historic data, 10-year market forecast, interview-based player profiles, and technology analysis.

Thursday 10 November 2022 - Three years after 5G first commercialization, where does 5G stand now? This webinar will discuss the following four key aspects of 5G - 5G deployment overview; open RAN technology; 5G technology; 5G use cases; and 5G future market outlook.

In this slide presentation (see link below), we examine the different deposition and patterning techniques for forming OLED displays

In this slide presentation we give an assessment of graphene as an electronic material.

In this slide presentation (see below) we describe the different existing and emerging OLED material classes. In particular, we explain and analyse fluorescent (FL), phosphorescent (PH), thermally-activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) and hybrid TADF and fluorescent materials.

Glass is the ultimate barrier substrate material.

In this premium article below we cover some of the latest activities with printed, flexible batteries.

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 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.
