PMMI announces 10 designers reach finals in Project 2020

PMMI, sponsor and producer of PACK EXPO International 2010 (October 31-November 3; McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill.), announces 10 package designers and developers have been named finalists in the "Package of the Future" competition, a key component of Project 2020: The Consumer Experience, sponsored by DuPont. The competition challenged the package design community to come up with a vision of what consumers can expect to see on retail shelves in 2020, and prototypes of the finalists' concepts will be on display as part of the Project 2020: The Consumer Experience area of The Brand Zone, located on the lower level of the Lakeside building.

IDTechEx Hong Kong event award winners

IDTechEx held their Printed Electronics Asia and Wireless Sensor Networks, Energy Harvesting & RFID conference in Hong Kong last week. This was the first time all these topics were brought together at one event.

Electrofluidics breakthrough could see e-readers with videos in color

UC electrofluidics breakthrough could change the display technology used in a myriad of electronic devices. e-Readers like the Amazon Kindle may be able to display color and video.

E-paper's 'electrofluidics' can hold an image without electrical power

A recent paper describes the new technology created by a collaboration between the University of Cincinnati and start-up company Gamma Dynamics LLC.

Printed Electronics Asia 2010 event preview

IDTechEx Printed Electronics Asia 2010 and Wireless Sensor Networks, Energy Harvesting & RFID Asia are now less than a week away. The two co-located conferences will cover a multitude of topics and will give you access to detailed presentations on these mutually supporting subjects, covering both the technologies and their applications.

Solar funnel

Using carbon nanotubes (hollow tubes of carbon atoms), MIT chemical engineers have found a way to concentrate solar energy 100 times more than a regular photovoltaic cell.

Carbon nanotubes could soon form antennas that capture light energy

New antenna made of carbon nanotubes could make photovoltaic cells more efficient by concentrating solar energy.

DuPont's first commercial adoption of PV8600 encapsulant material

Modified Ionomer Sheet Provides Superior Backsheet Adhesion and Lamination Cycle Time for Thin Film Photovoltaic Modules

DuPont opens North American photovoltaic research facility

Applications lab fosters innovation to accelerate R&D to meet fast growing solar market

Flexible and hybrid electronics

Flexible displays, lighting and solar panels may open the way to new kinds of consumer products and architectural features, but the real driver of the current up swell of interest in flexible, printed or hybrid electronics technology is manufacturers seeking ways to reduce production costs of large-area devices.

R&D Growth Scientist

DuPont Microcircuit Materials (part of the DuPont Electronics & Communications business) is a supplier of innovative materials to the printed electronics, automotive, photovoltaic, and telecommunication industries. As a result of the company's extraordinary growth in the past decade, an opportunity has arisen for a Development Scientist to join our team at the European Technical Centre. In return, we can offer excellent opportunities for personal development and career growth. A competitive salary and attractive benefits will form the immediate package.

DuPont delivers OLED technology scalable for Television

DuPont has achieved record performance in printed organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, sufficient to enable future adoption of OLED television.

DuPont Microcircuit materials expands innovative offerings for PE

New Silver Conductive Inks Target High-Growth Touch Screen and OLED Markets

Plastic electronics could slash the cost of solar panels

A new technique developed by Princeton University engineers for producing electricity-conducting plastics could dramatically lower the cost of manufacturing solar panels.

DuPont opens photovoltaic application facility in Geneva

To address the needs for the fast-growing photovoltaic market, DuPont opened the Meyrin Photovoltaic Application Laboratory at its European Technical Center - adding new capabilities to this leading R&D hub by developing next-generation products.

Carbon nanotube ink turns cloth into a battery

Ordinary textiles could be transformed into batteries that hold up to three times more energy than a mobile phone battery, by simply dipping them into nanoparticle-infused ink.

Fabric electronics

Electronics in textiles may be printed or wound using wires and there are other options, with over 100 organisations working in the field. It varies from the invisible to the fanciful.

Emerging display technologies and innovations

On December 10, the UK Knowledge Transfer Network had a meeting in Grove Oxfordshire on Emerging Display Technologies and Innovations. About 35 people attended. Professor Ian Underwood of Edinburgh University in Scotland described work on microemissive OLED displays under the title "Hypoled - Next Generation Display Platform ."

Affordable electronic window shutters

Thirty percent of the energy used by buildings in the United States is spent making up for heat loss or gain through windows. That constitutes about $40 billion in electricity costs each year. Windows that change color in response to changes in the weather help save on electricity costs by absorbing sunlight in the winter and reflecting it in the summer but they have been expensive and not widely used. Electrochromic windows sandwich materials that change color when a small electrical field is applied across them. This change is triggered by changes in light or temperature measured by sensors.

Universal Display and the Flexible Display Center at ASU

Universal Display and the Flexible Display Center at ASU enhance strategic relationship to supply flexible active-matrix pholed display prototypes to U.S. Army. Universal Display also awarded $650,000 U.S. Army SBIR Phase II Enhancement Program to support demonstration of enhanced-performance AMOLEDs on plastic substrates.
