CONFERENCE

9th Plastic Electronics Conference 2013

The 9th Plastic Electronics Conference & Exhibition 2013 is the leading international technology-to-industry and industry-to-industry event focused on organic and large area electronics. It is the premium forum in its kind where professionals in the area from around the world meet to present and to discuss progress of topics of the same interest. Areas of interest include challenges and opportunities of applied fields of technology leading to mass manufacturing of applications in areas such as OLEDs for display & lighting, flexible photovoltaics and organic and hybrid based integrated smart Systems.

Welcome from the Conference Chairs

Plastic electronics or organic and large area electronics is predominantly based on vacuum thermal evaporation technology. VTE technology is about a 150 years old and highly practised in areas such as for LCD based FPD technology, but extremely capital intensive. High end applications, such as for display and lighting are VTE based and mainly on rigid structures, such as on glass and packaging by metals, in order to avoid deterioration in function. Processing of organic light emitting diodes has succesfully made an inroad in the manufacturing of smaller formats for displays, such as for smart phones and for tablets, and in designs for architectual lighting. The promise for OLED application in large area displays has yet to be fullfilled. Product launches for 55”displays, already announced over the last two years, are now finally expected to reach consumer markets  mid 2013. Apparently this all comes at a price point, which is still questionable and affordable for consumers.
