Printed Photovoltaics in Japan
The approach to the new photovoltaics is different in Japan. Unlike Western car companies, Honda is making photovoltaics partly because it could help to create the car of the future. The Western car companies take a shorter term view and even struggle to catch up with Japanese hybrid vehicle technology and the batteries required.

Progress towards p-type metal oxide semiconductors
In the last few years there has been increasing work on printed Zinc Oxide (ZnO) inorganic semiconductors. However, the materials developed have been used to demonstrated n-type transistors, but p-type transistors have not been commercially available. There are now two organizations that IDTechEx is aware of, and many more working on the topic, claiming p-type ZnO transistors are possible with reproducible results.
