2. Fit for publication: printable language.
 Electronics: From R&D to Revenues" to their offering.

The analysis in the report builds upon the work contained in two previously released studies that examined and forecasted the opportunities for applications providers and suppliers of inks, materials and substrates for printed electronic circuits. In this new report the author will provide detailed unit and revenue forecasts of PE application areas along with materials requirements. The report will answer important questions about the commercial future of inks and substrate The base layer of a structure such as a chip, multichip module (MCM), printed circuit board or disk platter. Silicon is the most widely used substrate for chips. Fiberglass (FR4) is mostly used for printed circuit boards, and ceramic is used for MCMs.  materials, it will address key issues surrounding sur·round

 production and manufacturing processes and it will also discuss company strategies, market drivers and key trends. This report will be of great value to applications providers, suppliers of inks and substrates, manufacturers of production equipment, specialty chemical A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant.  companies, electronics manufacturers and investors. The report will address issues important to senior executives and managers of R&D, sales and marketing, technology planning and finance.

This chapter summarizes the main new business opportunities that the author believes are emerging in the PE field and looks at the strategies that both large corporations and interesting start-ups are pursuing. It discusses key strategic and tactical issues facing the various elements of the value chain and provides perspectives on the future of the PE business.

Chapter One: Introduction

This chapter sets the context for the report and sets out its methodology, scope and objectives.

Chapter Two: Current and Future Applications for Printable Electronics

This chapter analyzes the commercial prospects for a wide range of PE applications including displays, color filters Color filter

An optical element that partially absorbs incident radiation, often called an absorption filter. The absorption is selective with respect to wavelength, or color, limiting the colors that are transmitted by limiting those that are absorbed.

It also examines the important drivers for these applications such as the rise of ubiquitous computing ubiquitous computing - Computers everywhere. Making many computers available throughout the physical environment, while making them effectively invisible to the user. Ubiquitous computing is held by some to be the Third Wave of computing. , smart packaging and how PE can lower cost throughout the value chain in several different industries

Chapter Three: The Supply Side of PE

This chapter examines the latest developments in inks, such as those involving silicon and small molecules, as well as the prospects for printing electronics on novel substrates such as paper, textiles, etc. It reviews the current state of the art in printing technology for electronics discussing what kind of printing is most likely to be used with what type of application and what type of printing machinery will be needed for full-scale production of PE products. Finally it looks at the plans of major firms to build PE plants, the costs and timeframes involved and who will supply the finance.

Chapter Four: Eight-Year Forecasts

This provides volume and value projections of PE markets by type of device, by application area, and by printing technology/materials platform. It discusses in great detail the assumptions behind the projections and the sources used to create them.
