Paper Electronics to be Addressed at Printed Electronics USA Conference

Product integrators needed

The benefits of printed electronics particularly shine through when many components are printed on one, preferably flexible, substrate. That is happening with plastic film substrates printed reel to reel by companies such as Soligie and GSI. They are somewhat like silicon fabs in having a considerable repertoire of component printing capability and making complete products to the customer's designs. Not so with printed paper electronics where most developers have only one component they can print, and no one offers a product integration service based on a wide repertoire of components. This is an opportunity for new entrants.
