Organic and printed electronics is based on the combination of new materials and cost-effective, mass-production processes that open up new fields of application. Thin, lightweight, flexible and environmentally friendly – these are the properties that characterize organic electronics. Organic electronics also make it possible to produce a number of electrical components that can be produced and integrated directly into low cost reel-to-reel processes. Intelligent packaging, low-cost RFID (radio-frequency identification) transponders, rollable displays and OLED lighting, flexible solar cells, disposable diagnostic devices or games, and printed batteries are just a few examples of promising fields of application for organic and printed electronics. This emerging technology is on its way to being used in mass production and is opening up new opportunities for the electronics-manufacturing industry. For the first time ever, leading manufacturers will present their solutions at a joint exhibition in Hall B2 (Stand No. 460).  

This highlight topic will be examined and discussed in detail in a series of lectures at the Innovations Forum in Hall B2 on Thursday, November 17, 2011.

The entire program of events and lecture times are available here.
