In this article we discuss emissive QDs. This is potentially the ultimate display technology since it can offer printability, ultra-narrow FWHM and thus ultranarrow color gamut, high efficacy, etc. The challenges are however many, and the technology roadmap is long.

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.

Medical alert systems, fall detection, remote patient monitoring, medical adherence and more...

In the next decade, digital water technologies will be the next big innovation. With an industry predicted to be over $2Bn in 2030, this is a wide-reaching opportunity for many and a market which has a global impact.

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).

AMS specialises in sensors which detect a range of contaminants in wastewater, both in municipal and industrial applications.

In this article we discuss the status and trends in the use of QDs in displays, focusing on its thus far most successful implementation which is the enhancement film or remote QD approach.

In this webinar, IDTechEx Senior Technology Analyst Dr Nadia Tsao will review the branches of digital health and provide updates on how they have been affected by COVID-19.

Asked to picture a printed sensor, you might well imagine a paper test strip for measuring blood glucose concentration. After all, such test strips comprise the majority of the printed sensor market, with billions used each year by diabetics around the world. However, this ubiquitous application masks a highly complex, fragmented and in some cases rapidly growing market that spans applications ranging from image sensing to wearable electrodes.

InviSense have developed a thin moisture/humidity sensor based on an organic semiconductor. The product is targeted at remote monitoring of the space behind waterproofing layers.

Piezotech Arkema is a division of the large French materials supplier Arkema, focused on developing and supplying piezoelectric polymers.

TriEye is an Israeli company that has developed an affordable method of SWIR imaging based on detecting plasmonic resonances with a silicon CMOS device.

PST Sensors manufacture printed, flexible, thin film temperature sensors based on a silicon nanoparticle composite ink. They are based in both the UK and South Africa, and also develop integrated sensing systems that utilize their printed thermistor technology.

Meggitt is a large UK-based company with 12,000 employees that manufactures components for aerospace, defence and energy applications. This profile focusses on a recently developed technology from the Ferroperm Piezoceramics division, specifically a piezoelectric ink.

Of 13 primary forms of energy harvesting, five harvest movement with electrodynamics clear winner because it efficiently harvests the types of movement commonly encountered. Only two forms of energy harvesting use electromagnetic radiation.

In this webinar, IDTechEx Senior Technology Analyst Dr Nadia Tsao will cover: Megatrends driving skin analysis technologies, Key market segments for skin analysis technologies, How skin analysis technologies can help companies in and post-COVID, Outlook for the industry and market forecast to 2030, and much more.
