Advanced Materials

TeraDiode are one of the few players in the laser market manufacturing high-power direct diode laser (HPDDL) products.

Graphene Light Project company developed the new light source based on laser-induced white emission effect.

Hitachi Chemical Company Ltd has qualified C3Nano's ActiveGrid ink for mass production in its transparent conductive transfer film product. Additionally, Hitachi Chemical's TCTF has been adopted in a major Chinese mobile flexible device and is expected to be integrated into several more flexible devices in 2019

Since 2014/2015 IDTechEx Research noticed that the centre of graphene research and commercial activity was shifting to China. This trend had shown itself in publication and patent numbers, as well as in investments and capacity announcements. The precedent was also there: China had stepped in late but became a leading territory in commercialising carbon nanotubes.

Sony manufacture a variety of semiconductor devices including laser diodes and CMOS image sensors

The Graphene Corporation manufacture and utilize graphene and other nanomaterials for emerging applications. IDTechEx technology analyst Dr Richard Collins interviewed Mr Jas Kandola (CEO).

Osram are a manufacturer of lighting and sensing products.

IIDTechEx Research asks if the graphene competitive landscape will be drastically reconfigured. These are interesting times for graphene. Multiple significant applications have arrived in the market. Revenues are growing for many and companies are finally seeing average order sizes grow thanks to a few high volume (multi-tonne) lead conversions. This looks like the first stage of the growth phase.

Mitsubishi Electric manufacture laser diode single emitters and are a key player in the laser diodes market.

In this second article, we consider multiple approaches that are being used to enable flexible hybrid electronics.

IDTechEx CEO, Raghu Das discusses trends in flexible electronics, stretchable electronics, structural electronics, internet of things, sensors, wearables, healthcare, electric vehicles, energy storage, graphene, 3d printing and printed electronics in the opening cornerstone presentation at the IDTechEx Show! Europe 2019.

Anyone who has a rear-view mirror that automatically dims blue in reaction to annoying high-beam headlights glaring from behind has seen an electrochromic film in action. Chemists have developed a new method to more safely and, by extension, easily produce these shear films, which change their color with the help of a tiny electric current. This could make them available to many industries that have not been able to feasibly use them before.

Jenoptik are primarily a photonic products manufacturer

Emberion are a start-up established in 2016, which spun-out from Nokia (Finland) and specialise in nanomaterial photodetector technologies.

In this article, we consider multiple approaches that are being used to enable flexible hybrid electronics.

In this article IDTechEx describes the current and the future (potential) state of affairs, highlighting how a transition can take place to evolve the technology from a black art method towards an accessible manufacturing platform.

IDTechEx have outlined some advancements in thermal management solutions and material opportunities in previous articles. This article will look to capture some additional information and provide an update on some of those hidden material opportunities.

Finisar are a photonic products manufacturer

JEC World continues to be the premier annual event for composites. This premium article from IDTechEx Research highlights the key takeaways from this event.

The automotive industry has emerged as a significant market opportunity for suppliers of conductive pastes and similar materials. It has the potential to one day rival in significance the irreplaceable photovoltaic market. Almost every major paste supplier with a global profile is re-organising its team and its product portfolio to capture this rising trend.
