According to New Study, Printed Electronics Will Be a $300 Billion Market within 20 Years with Printed Transistors and Memory Taking Centre Stage.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89881) has announced the addition of Printed and Thin Film Transistors and Memory 2008-2028 to their offering.

Printed electronics will be a $300 billion market within 20 years. The largest segment will be printed transistors and memory. They will drive lighting, displays, signage, electronic products, medical disposables, smart packaging, smart labels and much more besides. The chemical, plastics, printing, electronics and other industries are cooperating to make it happen. Already, over 150 organisations are developing printed transistors and memory, with first products being sold in 2008.

This 339 page report is intended for those wishing to see the big picture and those new to the subject. There are no equations or academic references and the text will be readily understandable for those from all the industries now seeking a place in this value chain. There is a profusion of illustrations to bring the subject alive and detailed comparison charts explain and compare everything at a glance - from choice of substrates and inks to the smart products resulting and the progress of over 150 organisations in making it all happen. Those with basic training in physics, chemistry and electronics will find much to inform them. Those with no scientific training will also be able to see the big picture, the issues and the winners and losers because appendices and a glossary help them with the background and the terminology. Above all, this report is very up to date, having been fully researched globally in 2007 and 2008. Do not follow the herd into the well aired aspects of this subject. Gain advantage by understanding all the important aspects and opportunities.

Whether you intend to be a user, seller or researcher, consider the new InGaZnO semiconductors, the single layer geometry, the multi-function transistors, the printed silicon transistors and many other advances. Understand the enormous amount of work going on in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the USA, Germany and the UK. See why no printing technology is ideal and what comes next. Although the press talks of transistors only working at the lower frequencies and modest memory capability in printed form, some of these devices work at terahertz ter·a·hertz

One trillion (1012) hertz.

THz
 frequency and some promise a gigabyte on a postage stamp for only a few cents and the one cent RFID tag before very long.

There is much more to printed electronics than commonly appears in press reports and research papers. This is a huge revolution impacting most aspects of human endeavour. Billion dollar suppliers will be created and even the smallest organisations involved are already signing deals with some of the largest - there is room for everyone.

Those thinking that this is all about organic electronics are boxing themselves into a corner. Those that think that printed transistors and memory are being developed by the few companies often mentioned in the press are missing the work at over 150 organisations, most of it very exciting indeed. The companies are distributed as follows.

The immediately accessible markets for printed transistors are commonly described as being back plane drivers for displays and use in RFID but that is misleading. We give the big picture - something not previously available - and also look at the impediments to successful commercialisation of these components, in an honest and balanced appraisal. Forecasts are given for the next ten years and beyond.
