Printed Electronics: The Hot Topics

By Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx   

On 3-4 April, IDTechEx is hosting its 8^th annual Printed Electronics Europe event in Berlin, Germany. The event focus is on the commercialisation of printed electronics, with adopters from many verticals discussing their needs and experiences. 

 

www.PrintedElectronicsEurope.com

Also covered in the 100+ speaker conference program are the hottest technology topics. Experts from industry and academia will present their work followed by panel debate and discussion. Sessions include the following topics, reflecting the hottest current topics in the industry.

OLED versus LED lighting

It has taken twenty years for LED lighting to become 3% of the total $80 Billion global lighting market, but it is now on the exponential growth, appearing in car headlights to home lighting to street lighting. What is the impact on OLED lighting? Will those in OLED lighting achieve efficiencies, yield and lifetimes fast enough before LED becomes ingrained? Printing is already being applied to LED lighting for connectors and even printing LEDs themselves. Others are mounting LEDs on flex. But will the thermal problems restrict the applicability of LED lighting on flexible substrates, paving the way for OLED lighting there? Who is investing in OLED lighting manufacturing? Hear the lighting developers debate the topic at this event.

Energy Storage Gold Rush

Battery technology had progressed incredibly slowly over the last 100 years compared to other electronics and electrics. Now the development of energy storage technology has accelerated – due to government stimulus and industry demand for electric vehicles, local energy storage for renewables as part of the smart grid, long life energy storage for consumer electronics, and powering printed electronics components. New form factor batteries are available. Printed materials and laminar films have many opportunities in energy storage – including printed batteries but beyond that to improving conventional batteries, capacitors and supercapacitors – even those that scale up to the sizes of cars. Hear about the market needs, opportunity and technology progress at this event.

Replacing ITO

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is still about 95% of the $3.5 billion transparent conductive film market. Indium is subject to supply restriction and its price has varied by a magnitude in the last ten years. It is required primarily for photovoltaics, displays and touch screen applications – enormous sectors. Alternatives to ITO include transparent organic materials, finely printed conductive mesh, and other ways of patterning metal strands. Some even use copper to reduce cost. Others are progressing carbon nanotubes and grapheme as a viable alternative. Do all these choices have a market and what is their opportunity? Contrast the specifications – including hearing from those using ITO - to piece together the opportunity at this event.

Attendees will hear from some of the World's largest organisations including: 

• United Technologies Research Center - $52 Billion Aerospace/Infrastructure company
• Procter & Gamble - $82 Billion Consumer Brands company
• Metro Stores - €67 Billion Consumer Goods Retailer company
• Schneider Electric - €20 Billion Electrics/Electronics company
• Samsung - $220 Billion Consumer Electronics company
• Nokia - €42 Billion Consumer Electronics company
• Panasonic - €83 Billion Consumer Electronics company
• Abbot Diagnostics - $35 Billion Healthcare company

These are just some of the highlighted topics that will be aired at the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Europe event. Register by February 29^th and save 30% - go to www.PrintedElectronicsEurope.com

Smart Systems Integration 2012 - the conference

International Conference & Exhibition on Integration Issues of Miniaturized Systems - MEMS, NEMS, ICs and Electronic Components

Smart Systems Integration is the international communication platform for research institutes and manufacturers to exchange know-how on smart systems integration and to create the basis for successful research co operations with focus on Europe.

The event is part of the activities of EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration.

Technology - Smaller! Smarter! Integrated!

Smart Systems Integration allows you to form a system out of components which is able to gain information from the environment, to process it electronically, to communicate signals and data and to give enabled feedback signal to the ambience.

The whole system is subject to the trend of today’s world: miniaturization, networking capability, energy-autonomy and reliability. Due to increasing complexity and multidisciplinarity developing teams in fields of microsystems- and nanotechnology, optics, fluidics, biology, medical science, electronics and wireless communication technologies face highest demands.

The Smart Systems Integration 2012 will be held in collaboration with MEMS Executive Congress Europe, organized by MEMS Industry Group.
