| Résumé : |
The authors describes the current issues regarding organic and inorganic materialx for the printing ink industry.
Silicon has had a good run in the electronics industry but the lowest cost chips have changed much in price for decades and wide area silicon, as with solar cells, is heavy, expensive and in need of huge government subsidies to be sold in any volume. Truly flexible - as opposed to bendale - silicon is non-existent in praticable form. Enter organic electronics that can be printed, unlike silicon and is potentially of low cost and versatile, being useful for sensors, power, memory, logic, lighting and much else besides. Here we are not just talking of organic semiconductors but of dielectrics, conductors and light emitters for example. Many conferences and companies use the terms organic or plastic electronics and there is even a trade association. The progress of this new industry is phenomenal. So is that the end of the story ? |
