New: Investment in production capacity is the key to establishing the organic electronics industry
An analysis of how current production capacity is inadequate to meet forecast market demand and
the investment required to bridge the gap. (209K pdf file)
Background to the industry
A brief history to the emerging organic semiconductory industry and an overview of the current structure of the industry,
investment, major players and research directions.
The future may not be printed!
Why the terms 'plastic electronics' and 'printed electronics' are misleading as labels for the organic semiconductor industry.
Where are the big markets?
Forecasting the next big market for organic semiconductor technology is a popular occupation but inherently problematical.
Patents: innovation growth
Examination of patent classifications for the organic semiconductor industry and what analysis of these patents can tell us about how the industry is developing.
Photovoltaic: an opportunity
Forecasts for the growth of the organic semiconductor based photovoltaic market in comparison to silicon based devices.
Manufacturing: installed capacity
Have OLED display manufacturers correctly anticipated demand, or is there surplus production capacity in the industry?
Materials: where is the value?
Manufacturers of organic semiconductor materials are faced with a dilemma about how to price materials to take account of both wasteful (eg spin-coating) and efficient (eg direct printing) deposition processes.
Lighting: an opportunity?
How big is the potential market for solid state lighting, and can OLED technology beat LED technology in terms of efficiency, cost and lifetime?
