Nano ePrint developing printed nano-transistors in zinc oxide

Nano ePrint, formerly Plastic ePrint, the 2006 spin out from Professor Aimin Song's group at Manchester University in the UK, continues the development of its remarkable single layer transistor printing system.

New topics covered at Printed Electronics Asia

While some involved in OLEDs and OTFTs are moving out of the business of printed and potentially printed electronics, work on inorganic materials and compounds is increasing. The IDTechEx Printed Electronics Asia event in Tokyo will give a balanced view with many presentations being World firsts.

Edible RFID

Electronic tattoos applied to animals and meat employ FDA approved dyes that can be read with microwaves at a distance.

Surge in inorganic printed and thin film electronics

Organic printed electronics has attracted hundreds of participants over the years. However, the topic is as much about inorganic electronics as it is organics - organic electronics is not the end game for all printed electronics.

Open air deposition of zinc oxide transistors

Kodak has developed a fast, printing-like process to fabricate high-performance zinc oxide (ZnO) transistors in open atmospheric conditions.

Shakeout of organic transistor developers

Following on from the shakeout in OLED developers, IDTechEx sees the same thing happening now in Organic FETs.

Kodak awarded $1.7 million to develop OLED lighting

Eastman Kodak has been awarded a $1.7 million two-year contract by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), to develop key technologies and processes for OLED lighting panels.

Photoluminescent nanocrystals with the potential for new lighting

"Non-blinking" nanocrystals that constantly emit light have the potential to be an incredibly cheap alternative for lighting applications or even an OLED successor.

Fund raising in printed electronics

In recent studies IDTechEx found that about 2,250 organisations are involved in developing printed electronics, double the number from two years ago.

Kodak plans to restructure OLED business

Kodak plans to restructure OLED business with new partners and business model changes.

GE scientists display first-ever OLED Christmas tree

Scientists and engineers on GE's OLED research team are celebrating the holiday season with a first-ever OLED Christmas tree lighting at GE's Global Research Center headquarters in Niskayuna, NY

ImageXpert announces JetXpert, a new drop-in-flight analysis system

ImageXpert software is used for image analysis including drop trajectory, velocity, volume, radius, ligament and break off length, as well as other features as desired.

Rapid growth expected from the OLED lighting industry

Rapid growth expected from the OLED lighting industry creating demand of up to 90% for OLED materials by volume.

The new electronics paradigm

The new IDTechEx masterclass, called "Creating new products with printed electronics," will explore the needs by industry sector and appraise the technologies and timelines.

Packaging Days Conference

IDTechEx report on the Packaging Days conference held on September 23-24 at the Centre des Congres, Paris.

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.

Silicon chip chemicals become a bridge to printing

Before the 1990s, silicon chip technology employed only six elements according to IBM but today we see a huge variety of compounds, alloys, solvents and dopants brought to bear.
