Analyst-led Masterclasses

The four optional analyst-led masterclasses are interactive consultancy sessions, covering IDTechEx market research, and technology appraisal from world-leading experts. Each masterclass gives a detailed examination of the topic. They appraise the market opportunity with detailed forecasts and assess the technologies, competitive landscape, value chain drivers, barriers, case studies and global trends. They provide impartial and accurate insight into these sectors, based on primary research carried out by technical IDTechEx analysts around the world.

At each masterclass you will have the chance to handle many samples, and take away printed copies of presentations. They will ensure you get the most from the conference and leave with answers to your questions.

The new electronics world uses many materials including organic semiconductors, inorganic semiconductors, metallic conductors, nanoparticles, nanotubes, conductive organic materials, dielectrics and more. This technical masterclass looks at the full range of these different materials, comparing for each one the available chemistries, performance, cost, printability, lifetime, suppliers, applications and multiple other parameters. In particular, the masterclass covers:

• Semiconductors – organic (including carbon nanotubes and graphene), inorganic (including metal oxides and silicon), and dielectrics
• Metallic conductors (silver, copper and other metal nanoparticles, nanorods and nanowires)
• Organic conductors (including carbon nanotubes and graphene)

• Photovoltaics
• Displays and lighting
• Touchscreens
• Logic and memory
• Actuators and sensors
• Conductors
• Batteries

Ten year forecasts are given for the material opportunity. The impact of using different print techniques (inkjet, gravure, etc) and substrates (paper, plastic, glass, etc) are also considered from the materials perspective.

Who are the major suppliers of materials by type? What are the biggest material challenges? What are the latest emerging materials capable of achieving? How are the design processes for electronic devices and systems affected by the new materials and technologies? It is all covered here by experts in materials, printing, and design.

Thin Film Photovoltaics Masterclass - held at the Coatema facility in conjunction with a company tour. If you are selecting this class you will be unable to attend Masterclass 4 which is also being held off site.

This technical Masterclass explains the needs, the options and the future trends for the chemical structure and processing of flexible materials that are required to enable flexible electronics. In particular, it addresses the following flexible components for displays, lighting, PV, touchscreens, logic and sensors:

• Plastic, paper and inorganic substrate options
• Temperature performance, barrier performance, latest progress, suppliers, costs, matching inks
• New smart substrates, including electroactive polymers
• Application relevancy
• Market opportunity

• Requirements, technology options and their appraisal and suppliers
• Companies which are active in the development of high barrier films and their achievements on the field to date.

• Performance measurement
• Forecasts for barriers for 2013-2023 for OLED Displays and Lighting and OPV

This section will cover the role of metal oxides, organic materials, and emerging alternatives including inorganic meshes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and more for transparent conductive films. It compares these to the market for ITO. The penetration of these options into applications such as displays, photovoltaics and touch screens, and others, is given for the next 10 years.
