The Unmet Need: How Flexible Electronics Concepts is Driving Commercialization of Printed Electronics

 

Dr Harry Igbenehi, is Product Development Manager of Flexible Electronics Concepts Ltd, Cambridge, United Kingdom. Dr Igbenehi studied Electronic Engineering at the University of Reading. He joined the the Surrey Centre for Ion beam Research group at the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology Institute, where his PhD research was on direct write creation of Micro electro mechanical systems (as can be found in sensors, fuel cells and micro-optical Photo-Voltaics) from polymer and nano-metal composites, using highly focused and energetic Ion beams. His interests are: Applications of printed sensors and electrics, plastic and flexible electronics, creation and integration of smart materials for improved efficiency, weight reduction and intelligent energy storage solutions.

Flexible Electronics Concepts FEC is a new company set up to create innovative working samples of printed electronics. Many consumer packaged goods companies and other potential end users are frustrated that they cannot obtain innovative product concepts or even simple devices such as smart labels based on the new printed electronics. They do not want components. FEC will endeavour to help by being a product integrator and concept generator for small quantities of printed electronic products. Any successes will be produced in volume by the industry leaders. Meanwhile, buy your samples and sample books here.
