New method to measure OLED molecule behavior while device is working

AIST have developed a method that can selectively measure the behavior of specific molecules at the interfaces of organic layers in a multilayered organic light emitting diode (OLED) device during light emission in collaboration with Chemical Materials Evaluation and Research Base (CEREBA).

Highlights from Printed Electronics Asia 2012

IDTechEx held Printed Electronics Asia 2012 in Tokyo, Japan last week. This is part of the World's global event series on the topic with other events in USA (Dec 5-6) and Europe (April 17-18). Senior-level attendees from some of the biggest chemical, equipment and electronics companies were present from 23 countries, with 50% of attendees from Japan, and 66% of attendees from East Asia.

Metrology for energy harvesting: 2012 updates

IDTechEx technology analyst Harry Zervos recently followed up on the interview he had with Dr Markys Cain, from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) last year, picking up the latest updates on the project on Metrology for Energy Harvesting that NPL is involved with.

Lithium and gallium compounds in the new electronics and electrics

Analyst IDTechEx has been taking a close look at the elements and compounds used in the new electronics and electrics - components just entering a phase of very rapid growth in sales.

More from IAA Bus and Truck Show Hannover Germany

This large show covered conventional buses and trucks very well, with many on display and being demonstrated in action, the story being one of incremental improvement with very limited interest in saving the planet - more a matter of responding to ever tighter regulation. Some vehicles had chimneys rather than exhaust pipes.

Consolidation and growth in RTLS and WSN

Recently there has been consolidation in the RTLS and WSN market, with acquisitions of companies such as Aeroscout, MicroStrain and Dust Networks.

Supercapacitors Webinar on Friday 28th September

Supercapacitors, otherwise known as ultracapacitors or Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC), have leapt to market growth of 30% yearly due to rapidly broadening applications from mobile phones to trains, cars and battle tanks.

Energy Harvesting: The winning commercialization strategies

A large number of energy harvesting devices, energy storage components and associated electronics now exist. In many cases they are not all available in mass volumes today but certainly in volumes high enough for initial adoption. So who has the most successful model so far?

Big future for titanium compounds in the new electronics and electrics

This article shares some of the research carried out for a new IDTechEx report requested by several of the world's largest chemical companies.

Volocopter

Electric motors in aircraft are not readily scalable so many aircraft employ many propellers each with their own motor.

Rapid change in the vehicle battery industry

Manufacturers of vehicle batteries were in a slow moving industry based on lead-acid batteries. However, they are now in an era of very rapid change. Product re-positioning and new technology can make the difference between high sustainable profits and oblivion.
