| Description | Recent progress on developing printable conductive inks, flexible substrates, and associated continuous processes for making electronics means there is now an advancing infrastructure ready for the practical manufacture of disruptive new products. New technology enables mass-production and conformable circuitry, from low cost integrated intelligence in packaging, to new types of displays, building-integrated solar (BiPV), and wide-area lighting panels. Industry experts will provide updates on the current market and projected growth areas, the state of materials development including the new materials registry database, the status of equipment technology for sintering and annealing to improve performance of the solution-based circuits, and the real products now taking advantage of these disruptive technologies. | |
