"We see a rapidly growing interest by companies and investors in organic and printed electronics worldwide", says Wolfgang Mildner, Chairman of the board of directors (Organic and Printed Electronics Association), on Thursday in Frankfurt. "The market potential for printed electronics is huge. In parallel with the upward trend in this technology the interest in OE-A is growing too" states Mildner. "Last year the OE-A membership increased by more than 30% , to more than 160 members from 27 countries."
New applications for established industries Flexible thin lighting elements for automotive and buildings interiors provide new opportunities for car designers and architects. Thinness, flexibility, robustness and easy integration are the competitive advantages of this new technology. Flexible solar cells, RFID-tags for brand protection, printed batteries or e-reader are additional applications enabled by organic and printed electronics. Integrated systems printed roll-to-roll at low-cost render the possibility of having consumer goods as well as industrial electronic systems that are extremely compact and energy efficient.
