Toppan Forms organic photovoltaic & RF harvested products
Organic photovoltaics currently has a life of 2-3 years and is sold under a one year guarantee, the first volume success being solar bags. Toppan Forms is now trialling organic photovoltaics in many consumer and merchandising applications as well as trialling other printed electronics products for these applicational sectors, including ones employing RF harvesting.26 Apr 2010
Toppan Forms to test markets with printed electronics
Toppan Forms, a leading information management solution provider, will start to test market product applications by combining various printed electronics technologies. Unlike conventional electronics, printed electronics are not rigid and can be converted into different shapes and sizes. Innovative products such as a battery charger in the shape of brief case or POP displays for marketing can be customarily designed and manufactured. Test marketing will start this summer and full scale marketing is expected to start in 2011.23 Apr 2010
Progress with flexible photovoltaics
In the last six months, IDTechEx has finally obtained working samples of many types of flexible photovoltaics - amorphous silicon, dye sensitised solar cells, copper indium gallium diselenide and organic.21 Apr 2010
Thin film photovoltaics focus: Photovoltaics Europe 2010 Germany
With a multitude of topics covered in the different conference tracks, the photovoltaics sessions attracted significant amount of interest. The main reason is the growth of photovoltaics technologies and thin film platforms in specific, but also the interest of a large number of solar cell developers in discovering new applications, other than rooftop and solar farm installations which have, by now, become highly competitive.20 Apr 2010

Organic and printed electronics - Green Energy
Renewable energies play a decisive role in the energy concepts of the future. However, their potential will remain largely limited as long as the sun's energy can neither be stored nor utilized on a large scale. That is where organic materials offer revolutionary solutions. Current trends and the latest developments in this field will be on display at LOPE-C in Frankfurt, Germany from June 23-25, 2009.28 Apr 2009
