Printed Electronics Forecasts

• Work on thin film transistors is shifting increasingly from mostly organic based materials to a more even balance between organics and inorganics, due to the high performance that inorganics can achieve.

• East Asia significantly broadens scope of work in printed electronics, most notably in Japan followed by Korea. For example, the display giants in East Asia are researching the full gamut of printed electronics chemistries for transistors for display backplanes.
