Takeo Someya and coworkers at the University of Tokyo have created a flexible sheet comprising organic TFTs that inductively charges electronic gadgets placed on its surface. According to this Technology Review article, the system is designed in a way that overcomes the limitations of common induction schemes. Traditional induction systems can only spread small amounts of power [...] HurraFussball, an interactive trading card game developed by printed systems and Menippos, is the first commercial product based on printed organic electronics. [press release in german] ORFID Corporation [...] has signed an agreement with BASF Future Business GmbH (BFB), a subsidiary of BASF Aktiengesellschaft, to collaborate on the development and commercialization of printable organic electronic devices for use in display backplanes, RFID tags and other next generation electronic products. The Cambridge Evening News is reporting that Amazon, the world’s biggest bookseller, is in talks with Cambridge company, Plastic Logic, about the end of books as we know them. [...] CDT and Litrex are paving the way for the production of a new generation of high resolution polymer organic light emitting displays (P-OLED) through the development of an inkjet printing solution capable of producing P-OLED displays at up to 200 pixels per inch (ppi). Cambridge Display Technology (CDT) and Toppan Printing have produced a number of 5.5 inch full color active matrix polymer OLED (P-OLED) displays using a roll printing method. A demonstrator will be shown at the SID conference in San Francisco. The displays – believed to be the first of their type ever produced – are the result [...] NanoMarkets predictions for the OLED and e-paper, smart packaging, and thin-film photovoltaics industries: Markets for OLED and Paper-Like Displays to Total $10.2 Billion by 2011: combined sales of OLED displays and paper-like displays will reach $10.2 billion by 2011 and then go on to reach $14.7 billion by 2013. A centre for printed organic electronics, printronics, has been formed around printed systems, a leading player in the field. Four other companies (3D Micromac, GEMAC, GETT Gerätetechnik, KSG Leiterplatten) and two research institutes (Multi Device Integration group at the Chemnitz branch of the Frauenhofer Institute and the Institute for Print and Media Technology at the [...] The Georgia Tech Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) and Solvay announced a $3 million deal for OLED research today. COPE has already developed a unique material platform for OLEDs that may be deposited over large areas by ink-jet printing and patterned using standard photolithography. Tech researchers have found that exposing the material to ultraviolet [...] DuPont has announced solution-processable small molecule OLED materials, enabling low-cost deposition techniques previously only possible with polymeric OLED materials. DuPont’s latest technological achievement enables — for the first time — the combination of high performance and long lifetime of small molecule OLED materials with a printing process that is substantially lower cost and more scalable [...] A while ago a group at Philips research presented (’Video-speed electronic paper based on electrowetting‘, Nature Vol. 425, pp. 383-385, 25 September 2003; link to pdf reprint) a novel display type based on [...] Quantum Paper Inc. (nothing on their website yet) appears to be a relatively new player in the electronic paper business. According to PrintWeek, the company claims it has created the “first production quantities”: The US firm said its paper features an electronic display that can be printed on ordinary paper, board or plastic. [...] A research team including Stephen Forrest and Mark Thompson have published their work on Thin Film Electronics and Xaar have presented the first printed polymer memory device at the IPEX ‘06. From the presentation (available online; 12 MB PDF file): A 100 bit non-volatile re-writable cross-point array memory device was presented, in which all layers were printed. EETimes is reporting on a new printhead using an OLED light source. Epson Corp. said it has developed a print head using an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) light source, which is touted as achieving printing performance comparable to that of laser printer heads. |
