Invest in the right battery markets: New opportunities

This article will discuss the emerging technologies, new opportunities and potential markets in the battery industry.

What's hot and what's not in Printed Electronics

IDTechEx has been following the printed electronics market for fifteen years. In this article we provide ten brief updates across different parts of the industry.

What's Trending in Printed Electronics

From many different angles, the printed electronics sector is gaining commercial momentum. In this article, IDTechEx explores some of the top trends in the industry.

Smart Eyewear updates from the Wearable Technology Show

IDTechEx attended the Wearable Technology Show, at London's Excel Exhibition Centre on March 15th 2016. The following article describes some of the key technology and commercial progress updates from several of the players present at this event.

Highlights of the 7th Battery Japan Expo

IDTechEx visited the 7th Battery Japan in Tokyo, which is an event focusing mainly on rechargeable batteries. In this article IDTechEx will show some innovations and strategic plans announced by big companies.

Unmatched Insights at IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe in Berlin

Europe's largest event on printed, flexible and organic electronics, Printed Electronics Europe 2016, hosted by IDTechEx in Berlin on April 27-28 features over 226 speakers from 30 countries. The speaker programme has been designed by IDTechEx analysts embedded in the industry cherry picking the biggest brands and most innovative technology developments from around the world.

Dexerials

This profile focuses on their Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) work, as part of the Advanced Materials Division, and produced at the Kanuma and Neagari plants. ACF was originally launched by Sony Chemicals over 30 years ago. Dexerials was founded in June 2012 from Sony Chemicals. They have capital stock of 15.7 billion yen, and employ 2366 employees, as of March 2015. Dexerials Corporation was listed in the First Section Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 29th July, 2015.

Wearable technology in 2015 - how far have we come?

As the hype around wearable technology fades, IDTechEx technology analyst James Hayward looks at where the industry is now.

Demand for quantum dots will increase 20-fold over next decade

Ever since Sony launched the first television with quantum dots in 2013, these highly engineered materials have been back in the spotlight.

Henkel - conductive adhesives

Henkel have been producing ACF for 20 years. The fine pitch capability makes it ideal for LCD displays, but this is now a shrinking market. The opportunities lie in OLEDs, printed electronics and wearable electronics, which require lower temperature curing.

Quantum dots making inroads in displays

Quantum dots have been developed since the early 80's but it is only recently that they made an appearance in consumer products such as TVs and tablet computers. IDTechEx Research has published a new market report on quantum dots titled Quantum Dots 2016-2026: Applications, Markets, Manufacturers, and as part of this study we have looked at their impact on the display industry. Is this the technology that will enable LCD to rival OLED?

Quantum dots in LCD

This article is the second of our series on quantum dots. IDTechEx has been intensively researching the technologies, applications and markets of quantum dots and here we share some of key intelligence, forecasts and insights with our subscribers. This article examines the use of quantum dots in the LCD display industry. Here, we will examine how replacing phosphors with quantum dots improves energy efficiency and colour performance, and how quantum dot LCD display begin to erode the value proposition of OLED displays. We will also explore how a potential change in colour gamut standards might further push quantum dots into the market. We will then explore the different integration of approaches of quantum dots into LCD displays; namely, edge optic, film and on-chip. We will then examine the progress of 3M, LMS, DNP, QLight (Merck), QDVision, Sony, Samsung, LG, etc.
