Presentation Summary

  • There is now an established manufacturing element to the Printed Electronics (PE) industry resulting in part from the realization of the steps necessary to integrate individual technologies or devices into applications in which the proper value of these technologies can be expressed.
  • Manufacturing can be achieved now with sufficient volume, precision, and reliability to serve existing and developing markets in a commercially attractive way.
  • We will consider some existing and emerging applications in PE, including interface technologies, review the challenges in bringing technologies from the lab. into production, and discuss examples from revenue-producing products which indicate what can be achieved now.
