Printed and organic electronics (POE) are based on the combination of new materials and cost-effective, large-area production processes that open up expansive new fields of application. The technology has the potential to be a game-changer across the board, and the imagination runs wild with the profound implications of POE for the smart buildings industry. Thin, lightweight, flexible and environmentally friendly electronics – that’s what organic electronics promises to deliver. It also enables a wide range of electrical components that can be produced and directly integrated in low-cost reel-to-reel processes. Intelligent packaging, OLED lighting (organic LED), printed multi functional systems, roll-able touch-screen displays, organic photovoltaic’s (OPV), disposable diagnostic devices, all manner of new games, responsive textiles, and even printed batteries are just a few examples of promising fields of application for POE based on new large-scale, processable, electrically conductive, and semi-conducting materials. IDTechEx report that the total market for printed, flexible and organic electronics will grow […]
