• Roll-up displays for mobile communications
• Flexible solar panels for buildings, cell phones and portable medical equipment
• Intelligent packaging and RFIDs
• Sensor arrays that can be “printed” on buildings
• Low-cost non-volatile computer memories and optical interconnects
This report begins with a thorough analysis of plastic electronics technology. We discuss in detail what the intrinsic advantages of plastic electronics are, what the current limitations are and how they will be resolved. We also take a look at what materials are and will be used for plastic electronics and how plastic electronics is being boosted by other developments in nanoelectronics. We then continue with a discussion of emerging manufacturing approaches for plastic electronics. The dream of plastic electronics advocates is that it will enable circuitry to be printed in much the same way that books and newspapers are printed, radically lowering manufacturing costs compared to CMOS. But of the many different ways now being considered for making plastic electronic devices, which look most likely to succeed?
This NanoMarkets Report :
• Provides eight-year forecasts for plastic logic technology in seven different product categories (processors/
• For each product category,it breaks out the kinds of applications in which they will be used — everything from telecom infrastructure equipment to iPod-type devices
• Examines how the plastic electronics industry is evolving.
• Answers questions such as: Which major electronics and materials fi rms are investing in this area?
What are the leading start-ups? Which OEMs are leading
the pack in actually using plastic electronics in their products? How are new production methods lowering barriers to entry in this business?
