The Future $300 Billion Market For Printed Electronics Is Emerging Via Thin Film Electronics

Posted on: Monday, 28 May 2007, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c58120) has announced the addition of "Inorganic Printed and Thin Film Electronics" to their offering

The future $300 billion market for printed electronics is emerging via thin film electronics. The contribution of organic materials to this is greatly publicised and it has attracted over one thousand participants already. However, the best devices being developed usually rely on inorganic or combined inorganic/organic technology that is little publicised. The more select groups developing these inorganic materials and devices have a great future and this report describes the participants and their achievements in these inorganic-based activities and the fabulous opportunities that lie ahead for them, along with market forecasts. With over 115 tables and figures, it critically compares the options, the trends and the emerging applications and is the first in the world to comprehensively cover this exciting growth area. The emphasis is on technology basics, commercialisation and the key players.

It is often argued that the inorganic options are interim, because the progress is coming to an end whereas organics are "future proof". Nothing could be further from the truth. For conductors with vastly better conductance and cost, for the best printed batteries, for quantum dot devices and for transistor semiconductors with ten times the mobility, look to the new inorganics. That is the emerging world of new nanoparticle metal and alloy inks that are magnitudes superior in cost, conductivity and stability, such as the flexible zinc oxide based transistor semiconductors working at ten times the frequency and with best stability and life, along with many other inorganic materials.

Read the world's only report that pulls all this together in readable form.
