Printed Electronics - the Giants Get Involved

Biggest opportunities are with flexible substrates

The biggest opportunity for most forms of printed electronics as it rapidly evolves is for versions on flexible paper or polymer substrates because these will become lowest in cost and most suitable physically for the largest volume applications in future such as smart labels, smart packaging, books, newspapers, signage, posters and billboards. Flexible substrates such as paper or polymer film also give us lowest installation cost compared with today when conventional electronics and electrics can cost as much to install as to buy.
