Description
Electronics will never be the same
A revolution is in the making. Electronics will never be the same as new
applications are spawned. Invisible, origami, edible electronics, low cost
materials and manufacturing will lead to the use of electronics in spaces
traditionally bare of their functionality.
The research and growth of new technologies, along with new materials and
processing methods, is resulting in the increasing penetration of innovative
electronics and the emergence of new products in the competitive fields of
displays and lighting. Eye-catching, animated billboards; large-area, thin,
flexible displays with amazing colour contrasts; windows that are converted
into surface lighting elements at night.
IDTechEx has been following this market closely and has compiled a new
comprehensive report on the technologies that are promising to be a "visual
feast", a challenge to the senses.
IDTechEx Associate Dr Bruce Kahn and Technology Analyst Dr Harry Zervos are
offering insight in the markets for innovation in displays and lighting in the
next decade. The report is divided into four main parts.
Analysis of the emerging technologies
An analysis of some of the most promising emerging technologies, explaining
the underlying technical principles, materials and processing techniques as
well as challenges and hurdles to be overcome.
Technologies covered include emissive and non emissive displays with a
particular focus on flexible and printed technologies:
- Inorganic & Organic Electroluminescence (OLED)
- Electrophoretic & Electrochromic devices
- Liquid crystal, plasma and field emission displays
Company and research institute profiling
Company and research institute profiling: A comprehensive list of companies,
university research centres and research institutes involved with the research
and development of one or more of these technologies. The most active ones are
profiled in more detail, with information that detail activities,
developments, successes and future plans.
Applications
Applications. New applications and products that are helping innovators find
their niche markets and establish their competitive advantage.
Patterning techniques
An overview of printing technologies that lend themselves to mass production
and to the low-cost progression from lab scale development to full production.
The new electronics are predicted to be worth US$47 Billion by 2018, with the
market share for innovative display and lighting technologies being a big part
of the overall market. The IDTechEx forecasts included in this report, give a
detailed view of the predicted growth in the next decade by technology,
application and display size.
