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.
