White Paper ”OE-A Roadmap for Organic and Printed Electronics" Available

Germany | Posted on December 15th, 2009

The roadmap for organic and printed electronics is a key activity of the OE-A. Organic and printed electronics is a platform technology based on the combination of new materials and cost-effective, large area production processes that enables multiple applications that are based on organic and printed electronics but vary widely in their specifications.

The OE-A roadmap covers:

* Organic photovoltaic cells (OPV)
* Flexible displays
* Electroluminescent and OLED based lighting
* Printed RFID
* Organic memory devices
* Organic sensors
* Flexible batteries
* Smart objects
* Smart textiles

The White Paper gives detailed information on product generations, key application, and technology parameters, materials, patterning processes, and substrates and identifies principle challenges/red brick walls.

The OE-A roadmap is updated and expanded biannually.

If you have any questions or comments, if you are interested in the OE-A roadmap activities please do not hesitate to contact us.

About Organic Electronics Association
The Organic Electronics Association (OE-A) is a working group within the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) and was founded in December 2004. The OE-A is the leading international industry association for organic and printed electronics and represents the entire value chain of this emerging industry. Our members are world-class global companies and institutions, ranging from R&D institutes, component and material suppliers to producers and end-users. More than 120 companies from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia are working together to promote the establishment of a competitive production infrastructure for organic electronics. The vision of the OE-A is to build a bridge between science, technology and application. More than 3,000 member companies from the engineering industry make VDMA the largest industry association in Europe.

The OE-A is the host of the premier international conference and exhibition, LOPE-C - Large-area, Organic and Printed Electronics Convention, which addresses scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and investors. In 2010, LOPE-C will take place from May 31st to June 2nd, 2010 at Messe Frankfurt, Germany. www.lope-c.com
