For many applications such as biomedical, mechanical, or environmental monitoring devices, harnessing the energy of small motions could provide a small but virtually unlimited power supply.

When can we expect printed TVs?

LG made quite an impression during CES this year, announcing new OLED TVs that have delighted most reviewers. With premium features and a smart marketing campaign, LG has managed to position OLED as the best TV money can buy. But when will the technology become more affordable?

Nantero

Nantero was founded in 2001. It has since raised a total of $87.5m via multiple rounds of funding from VCs and strategic investors ($40m raised in 2014). Nantero has generated accumulative sales of $50m to this date. They have 170 approved patents and 200 pending ones protecting spin coating, patterning, circuit design and testing. Its technology enables high-performance non-volatile memory. Its follows a licensing business model.

NanoPhotonica

NanoPhotonica's innovations is in nano-material chemistry, as well as processing and layering techniques for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes (QLEDs). QLED is an emissive display technology, which is similar to OLED but offers larger color gamuts, better viewing angles and potentially better energy efficiency.
