Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

As processes are scaled up and costs have to come down, we see printed electronics increasingly being made with traditional high speed printing technology, particularly as suitably thin, high integrity inks become available. Read about this battle.

In any rapidly emerging market sector, there are those that make bold initiatives but miss their targets and there are those that quietly create profitable businesses. So it is with RFID, where many companies are reviewing their strategies after disappointment while others are succeeding. However, as far as the press and the analysts are concerned, profit is a taboo subject. Until now.

IDTechEx recently visited Japan to learn about the latest RFID developments there. Read highlights from our full report on the country's RFID progress published in the March issue of Smart Labels Analyst.

Learn about RFID progress from East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Americas and network with delegates from 30 countries. Now only days from the Boston show which kicks off on March 28, we examine the key uniques of the fifth annual RFID Smart Labels USA event.

The number of companies offering Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) has tripled in the last year. So what is going on and what is RTLS anyway? A new report on this topic from IDTechEx finds some exciting developments.

Globally the printing industry is in decline. Are the centuries of sophisticated development of the science and production technology for printing declining in a whimper? The answer is probably not. Certainly there is a fascinating escape route opening up for some. It is the printing of electronics.

Active RFID is little reported, but its use is growing rapidly. New IDTechEx research

In the last few weeks several analysts have published forecasts for the RFID market in 2010 ranging from $1.5 Billion to $30 Billion. Why the difference?

The fifth annual event from IDTechEx, March 28-29, Boston, MA, USA, covers new ground with new key speakers.

Printing Electronics - prepare for a step change in the printing and electronics industries. Here we introduce the technology and explore new opportunities as the printing and electronics industry converge.
