Countries That Will Win With Printed Transistors and Memory
Printed transistors and memory will be the largest part of the new electronics just as silicon chips are the largest part of the old electronics. The reason is that printed logic and memory are needed in almost everything electronic. It therefore matters greatly which countries will win in printed transistors, the engine of the whole printed electronics revolution.

Printed Electronics - the Giants Get Involved
Printed electronics often involves simple things such as printed conductive patterns to counter the pollution, unreliability, bulk, weight and cost of wires, solder and etched patterns. Most commonly, printed electronics will be used where traditional technology is simply not a feasible solution, such as wallpaper that generates power and doubles as a television and lighting or electronic anti-counterfeiting on 100 billion cigarette packets yearly, giving traceability at a cost of only 0.1 cents per package.

Printed Electronics vs Silicon
Although the capabilities of complex silicon chips increase at a rapid pace, there is little or no reduction in cost of the simplest silicon chips. How does printed electronics fit in?
