About Printed Electronics
The Printed Electronics market is expected to grow to more than USD 50 billion
in annual market value over the next ten years, according to industry analyst
group IDTechEx. IDTechEx predicts that logic, including addressable memory, will
be one of the largest segments in this market.
Using printing to manufacture electronic memory makes it possible to reduce the
number of process steps, resulting in dramatically lower manufacturing costs,
and also reduced environmental impact as compared to traditional semiconductor
processes. Commercial applications of printed electronics include e-paper,
electronic readers, and organic light emitting (OLED) displays. Sensors,
batteries, and photovoltaic energy sources are also in development, and together
with Thinfilm's memory technology they will open the door to new products and
applications, for example, in the field of RFID systems.
Memory is an essential part of most electronics. Memory is required for
identification, tracking status, and history, and is used whenever information
is stored. Thinfilm's non-volatile ferroelectric polymer memory technology is
well suited for application with other printed electronics devices because power
consumption during read and write is negligible, and as the memory is permanent,
no connection to external power is required for data detainment. Also, the
electric current required to write information is so small that operation would
be limited by the battery's lifetime and not its capacity.
