Abstract
This report examines the evolving set of printing and deposition technologies
that are being redesigned for an organic electronics environment; ink-jet and
organic vapor deposition, for example. It also analyzes the various
manufacturing technologies that organic electronics firms are utilizing now
and how well they are performing. Its product coverage ranges from emerging
areas such as polymer memories to relatively established areas such as OLEDs,
and it is especially focused on how the lessons in the established OLED plants
are being extended to organic electronics more generally. A five-year capacity
forecast is included in this report that is based on breakouts by type of
manufacturing technology utilized and the type of device manufactured. We also
profile the activities of firms and research groups that have developed novel
equipment to meet the thermal and environmental needs of organic electronics
materials.
