More power from bumps in the road

Printed electronics is used in several forms of energy harvesting, so we thought we would share this dramatic opportunity with you although it is not yet clear what technology is involved. A shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road could save a company such as Wal-Mart $13 million a year in fuel costs by converting its fleet of trucks.

LEDs take 3 percent of global lighting market

LEDs have taken three percent of the global lighting market while we have been waiting for OLEDs in anything more than very specialist applications.

Ultrathin lithium rechargeable battery

Next-generation, ultra-thin rechargeable batteries for micro devices such as smart cards, portable sensors and RFID tags could be used in energy harvesting applications suggest IDTechEx.

Self-healing electronics

It has been found that certain nanoparticles can be dispersed through a material and migrate to cracks so efficiently that self-healing composites, that repair themselves when damaged, can be envisaged.

Merging textiles and photovoltaics

Solar technologies are being adopted globally with strong growth predicted in the sector despite the current poor state of the world economy.

What we need from printed electronics - feedback from end users

At the annual IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe 2009 conference and exhibition, IDTechEx will uniquely feature a range of end user companies discussing their needs from printed electronics.
