Research and Markets: The Future of Organic Electronics Manufacturing Revealed

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dacdc5/the_future_of_orga) has announced the addition of the "The Future of Organic Electronics Manufacturing" report to their offering.

This report takes on the issues surrounding printing and deposition technologies that are being redesigned for an organic electronics environment. The product coverage ranges from emerging areas such as polymer memories to relatively established areas such as OLEDs, and it is especially focused on how the lessons in the established OLED plants are being extended to organic electronics more generally. The report provides competitive guidance to device makers who need to understand how their sector of the OE business will evolve at the manufacturing level. The report will also be vital to manufacturing equipment and materials firms to assess what kinds of products are required by the OE industry and to assess levels of demand.

The report contains profiles of manufacturing approaches taken by leading manufacturing approaches and of the plants that they have established or plan to build. These profiles show who have the largest capacities to produce each kind of OE device and how that will change over time. They also provide an indication of what is working and what doesn't work in today's OE manufacturing environment and an insight into the proprietary manufacturing processes currently being used by OE manufacturers and where manufacturers are willing to use off-the-shelf equipment. The report provides a true status report on the use of printing in OE, showing in which devices and which layers printing has proved effective. It also shows where photolithography still continues to be the only manufacturing approach that is suitable for patterning devices. As such the report provides a guide to the true state of OE manufacturing and gets beyond the hype about the all-printed OE device.

A five-year capacity forecast is included in this report that is based on breakouts by type of manufacturing technology utilized and the type of device manufactured.
