DuPont shares new research on OLED lighting

DuPont Microcircuit Materials (DuPont) will present initial research findings about new screen printable nano-silver conductor ink developments for grids and bus lines in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) lighting and other printed electronics applications at the ID Tech-Ex Printed Electronics Europe Conference External Link in Berlin, Germany, from April 1-2.

Conductive ink market- photovoltaic, touch screen and other sectors

IDTechEx is analysing the markets and technologies for conductive inks and pastes in this article series. In the previous article, IDTechEx provided overall ten-year market forecasts for conductive inks and pastes segmented by sector, and also outlined the competitive landscape for silver flake, silver nanoparticle and copper/silver alloy pastes and inks. In this article, IDTechEx takes a closer look at the photovoltaic and touch screen (edge electrode) markets. IDTechEx will also briefly examine other markets segments too.

Vorbeck Materials

Vorbeck is a graphene firm offering graphene conductive inks and formulations for dispersion in masterbatches. Vorbeck was one of the first graphene companies to move up the value chain and offer an ink. Vorbeck was also one of the first to demonstrate a product in collaboration with MeadWestVaco, and has since demonstrated a large number of product concepts and prototypes.

Printed Electronics Technology, Supplier and Case Study Snapshot

The following article summarizes the current status of the main printed electronics technologies for components in consumer goods and healthcare applications, providing for each one market drivers, case studies and key suppliers, cost structures and challenges.

The future of printed piezoresistive sensors

Sensing is an increasingly important application in printed electronics, partly because printed sensors can enable new ways to interact with machines and smart devices. In this article, IDTechEx takes a closer look at a well-established printed sensor technology: printed piezoresistive sensors.

Printed Electronics in Japan (part I)

From July through September 2013 we have visited 35 companies and interviewed many delegates at our Printed Electronics Asia event in Tokyo as well as reviewing the lectures and talking to the lecturers. This article shares some of the trends in Japanese printed electronics and allied subjects that have emerged. It is only a taster from the huge database of information acquired and interpreted by IDTechEx analysts. Over the years, the task has been made difficult by the Japanese predilection for changing company names and this cannot help their business activity.
