Material Suppliers for Printed Electronics

Seminar Paper , 2010 , 10 Pages , Grade: 1.0

Book Science

Organic and printed electronics are two very recent but well developed technologies.
Thanks to an optimistic road map and cooperations, companies all over the world are doing their best to gain process in the areas of techniques, processes, equipment, applications and materials. Every progress and development in these fields serve one common goal: to improve flexible, thin, lightweight and low cost electronic devices.
In order to achieve all these goals it is very important to have the best and most advanced materials.
My further paper will show different types of materials with their special demands to both material suppliers as well as R & D institutes.
