Organics for Electro-Optical Applications

Abstract

This BCC Research report is the first of its kind to cover the emerging electro-optics industry based on organic and polymeric materials. It provides a detailed discussion of the market and an analysis of economic parameters such as market volumes, needs and opportunities, as well as future technological challenges. The report also analyzes current and future organic-based electro-optical devices and applications.

Photonic devices fabricated from organic and polymeric materials are gaining the recognition and attention of the electro-optical industrial community. As a result, organic- based devices are currently experiencing accelerated development efforts driven by the telecommunications, optical storage and display markets.

Fabricating organic materials into electro-optical devices has many advantages, as well as enormous information-age market potential. However, only now do these technologies appear to be reaching a critical mass as the next generation in several key technologies. Driving this trend are continuing and accelerating developments in both manufacturing process technology, including novel nano designs and fabrications, and new materials systems.

This unique study is directed to strategic planners, marketers, forecasters, product managers, new business developers and decision makers in companies that deal with materials and applications in the chemical and electro-optical industries.
