Gain Insight in to Organic and Printed Electronics in Europe

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/555c33/organic_and_printe)
has announced the addition of the "Organic and Printed Electronics in
Europe" report to their offering.

This is the world's first and only report analysing the subject in
depth. It compares and analyses the activities of 280 organisations in
19 countries by technology and region. It gives contact details of
these companies and, where appropriate, examples of patenting
performance, research programs and scientific papers presented in 2007
onwards.

Activity in Europe assessed

The new electronics has even greater potential than today's
silicon based technology. This is because it tackles a wider range of
opportunities, from wide area displays to lowest cost power generation
and smart packaging. This organic and printed electronics is growing
to become a $300 billion market in 2028 and, in 2008 alone, many
factories come on stream to make "post silicon" transistors, displays
and solar cells. They are using thin films of both organic and
inorganic compounds and, increasingly, printing, because that gives
greater output, larger areas and lower cost.

Most of the action is taking place in East Asia, Europe and North
America, so IDTechEx has prepared the world's first in depth reports
on the companies, technologies and trends involved in each of these
regions. To be comprehensive, they include all those thin film
technologies beyond silicon that are not yet printed but may be
printed in due course.

Answers to your questions

This is the world's first and only report analysing the subject in
depth. It compares and analyses the activities of 280 organisations in
19 European countries by technology and region. It gives full contact
details of these organisations and, where appropriate, examples of
patenting performance, research programs, products and scientific
papers presented in 2008 onwards.

It is intended for company executives, investors, researchers,
developers, regulators and others in the field or intending to
participate in this huge opportunity. It is an invaluable first call
for those building customer lists, seeking partners or acquisitions
and assessing present and future competition. It covers all printed
and potentially printed electronics and electrics, whether organic or
inorganic, because only that gives the full picture.

In which regions and technologies is Europe strong? Where is
government support greatest and most consistent and what technology is
it for? Is the huge academic effort leading to enough start ups being
created? How can things be improved? Is most of the work in Europe on
transistors, sensors, batteries, electroluminescent displays, RFID or
what? Where is Europe likely to win and where will it lose? How do the
types of activity compare by number of projects? Who is acquiring whom
and why? It is all here.

Most of the action is taking place in East Asia, Europe and North
America, so IDTechEx has prepared the world's first in depth reports
on the companies, technologies and trends involved in each of these
regions, the others being Organic and Printed Electronics in North
America and Organic and Printed Electronics in East Asia.

Research carried out for this report

This report is based on intensive interviewing, patent searches,
conference analysis and literature and web searches, all carried out
in 2007 and 2008. It gives a great deal of information not otherwise
available, because IDTechEx is a leading consultancy, conference
organiser and publisher in this sector and its technical graduates
travel intensively from their bases in Germany, the UK, the USA and
Australasia. The report will be updated monthly this year, such is the
speed at which the subject is now progressing. When you buy it, you
obtain the very latest information. Indeed, the three authors are
respectively based in the UK, Germany and the USA and are available
for limited further support, at no charge, to those buying this
report.

The Executive Summary and Conclusions compares the data by
organisation, country and device (OLED, ac electroluminescent display,
electrophoretic display, RFID, transistor, organic photovoltaic,
inorganic photovoltaic, battery, other). It compares Europe with East
Asia and the USA in research versus industrial strength in this
subject, participation by giant corporations, foreign ownership and
other criteria. The individual profiles give full contact details,
examples of latest scientific papers - including many not yet
presented - news stories, products, patent performance and more. Each
organization profile is identified with activity in fine detail chosen
