Chinese Manufacturer Exploring the Europe Market for Precision Coating

Interview with ShenZhen Shining Automation Co., Ltd at Printed Electronics Europe.

Electric buses: technology winners and losers

A trillion dollar opportunity to 2035, electric buses are being completely reinvented because they are the electric vehicle sector already attracting billion dollar orders and they can prevent millions of deaths and injuries from air pollution.

Multi-mode energy harvesting

It seems obvious; energy harvesting is intermittent, so combine different types to make it continuous and therefore much more useful.

Polyera launch flexible display product

Over the last 18 months IDTechEx has reported in Printed Electronics World and at our events on the repositioning of companies moving from a component supply proposition to actually building products.

Webinar Thursday 3 Sept: Introduction to Thermal Interface Materials

IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Thursday 3 September 2015.

Valencell Inc.

Valencell are a technology licensing and development company working the in the optical sensor space, specifically for biometric measurement.

High power energy harvesting takes shape

Plenty of kilowatts from no fuel. This dream ticket is a reality today from the rapid adoption of high power energy harvesting. Energy harvesting converts ambient energy into electricity where it is needed, off-grid.

Biggest trends of 2015 in 3D printing

We usually wait until December to do a round-up of the year, but 3D printing is moving so quickly at the moment, we thought it would be good to step back and take a look at the biggest trends of the year so far.

Diversification challenges in the haptics industry

The growth of handheld devices in consumer electronics has enabled fast growth in the haptics industry. With billions of units sold, global reach and near ubiquitous adoption in devices like smartphones, many companies have targeted this space as having key growth potential. However, rapid commoditization led by China has left a graveyard of haptics operations across the West, Japan and Korea, so staying ahead of this curve is crucial. Our slides here summaries our latest research on haptics technologies and markets.

QD Vision Inc

QD Vision produces quantum dots and supplies components to the display industry, to enhance the backlight of LCD. Their Color IQ technology has been used by several TV manufacturers, including Sony, TCL and Hisense.

3D Printing for Rapid Prototyping and Industrial Design

Video interview with Delektre at 3D Printing Europe.

PURETi Group, LLC

PureTi was founded in 2004 to commercialize a photocatalytic coating based on nano TiO2. PureTi claim they have developed the first photocatalytic coating based on an aqueous solution which can be sprayed onto any construction surface.

Energy harvesting gets powerful

The term 'energy harvesting' is most typically applied to powering small electronic devices using say sunshine, vibration or temperature.

New battlegrounds emerge for conductive inks and pastes

Core applications of PV and touch panels continue to grow demand, but new opportunities emerge in the form of wearable technology, circuit boards and structural electronics.

48V vehicle systems becoming significant

Analysts IDTechEx almost completely rewrote their report Power Electronics for Electric Vehicles 2015-2025 this year and frequent updates take place, such is the pace of change.

He who does not print, vacuum coats

Atmospheric vs. vacuum deposition in the flexible electronics era.

Conductive Patterns Printed on Textiles using Printed Electronics

Video Interview with NovaCentrix at Printed Electronics Europe.

Emerging haptics find their niches

The industry around haptic actuators has encountered some significant challenges and changes in the last five years. However, the silver lining begins to shine through as emerging haptics find their niches. James Hayward summarises the findings from the latest IDTechEx Research report.

Piezoelectric elastic energy harvesting arrives

Elastic piezoelectric generators are being developed with microwatts demonstrated and watts in prospect for large formats.

PCB prototyping evolves with a new wave of electronics printers

A new wave of printers targeting printed circuit boards are enabling rapid, local prototyping while protecting company IP, finds IDTechEx Research.
