For ease of reading, we use the term transparent electronics to include translucent in this report. It embraces flexible, even stretchable devices but, for now, the main focus is on rigid ones.

We are looking for entrepreneurial, enthusiastic people to join IDTechEx to apply their technical knowledge. You will be involved with technology scouting, market research and consultancy in a rapidly growing, exciting, global firm.

In this premium article IDTechEx discuss three exciting emerging applications of printed/flexible electronics, including multiple case studies.

This webinar will include an introduction to quantum dots; value propositions of quantum dots; integration methods of QDs for display applications; comparison of QDs and phosphors; and QDs for micro-LED displays.

The new IDTechEx report, "Sensors 2021-2041" uniquely analyses the whole subject in the light of such seismic changes as the COVID-19 virus. The sensor business is in turmoil. The industries that spend most on sensors are changing as are the sensors.

Sensors: The Whole Picture Part 5c: Analysis by parameters measured: S-Z

Semiconductor sensors, also known as metal-oxide-semiconductor sensors (MOS sensors), detect gases by a chemical reaction that takes place when the gas comes in direct contact with the sensor.

A biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical signal.

It is meaningful to analyse sensors in terms of industries. For example, the miniaturised multi-sensor platforms of mobile phones and smart watches in the consumer electronics industry have much in common with those in the broader concepts of the Internet of Things which is largely focussed on the healthcare, energy and manufacturing sectors.

For the purposes of this report, a sensor as an input device which, as its primary purpose, provides an electrical output (signal). A sensor detects and, where needed, quantifies a specific physical, chemical or biological quantity (input).
