Advanced Materials

At the forthcoming event, Printed Electronics and Photovoltaics Europe 3-4 April in Berlin, one third of the 94 presentations and masterclasses primarily concern organic compounds but two thirds primarily concern inorganic and composite devices. The organisers did not steer it that way: the customers did.

The company has invested €14 million in the construction of this first production line and has created over 75 new jobs in recent years.

This includes devices not yet printed today but which are moving towards being printed. Of this market, 30% of the devices studied are made predominately by printing, and 6% are on a non-rigid substrate.

A theoretical model for the unusual occurrence of magnetism in organic molecules may help develop this class of material for electronics applications.

European collaboration to fast-track success of organic and large-area electronics

Supplies photonic curing equipment for conductive ink in addition to copper and silver based inks

Passion, excellent know-how and close networking win the Deutscher Zukunftspreis 2011.

The three scientists succeeded in adapting organic semiconductors for use in a wide range of products, thereby creating the basis for innovative applications in displays, lighting, and photovoltaics.
