DUBLIN — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 4, 2012 — Dublin - Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wrh5fm/inorganic_and_comp) has announced the addition of the "Inorganic and Composite Printed Electronics 2012-2022" report to their offering.

DTechEx forecasts a market of $45 Billion for printed electronics by 2022 and that market is expected to be more or less evenly divided between organic and inorganic materials.

There is increasing work on printed inorganics as people struggle with the performance of organics in some aspects. For conductors with vastly better conductance and cost, for the best printed batteries, for quantum dot devices and for transistor semiconductors with ten times the mobility, look to the new inorganics. That is the emerging world of new nanoparticle metal and alloy inks that are magnitudes superior in cost, conductivity and stability, such as the flexible zinc oxide based transistor semiconductors working at ten times the frequency and with best stability and life, along with many other inorganic materials. Read the world's only report that pulls all this together in readable form.

This report critically compares the options, the trends and the emerging applications. It is the first in the world to comprehensively cover this exciting growth area. The emphasis is on technology basics, commercialisation and the key players.

This report is suitable for all companies developing or interested in the opportunity of printed or thin film electronics materials, manufacturing technologies or complete device fabrication and integration. It is essential reading for all those wishing to understand this technology, the players, opportunities and applications, to ensure they are not surpassed.

Technologies Covered:

The report considers inorganic printed and thin film electronics for:

- Displays

- Lighting

- Semiconductors

- Sensors

- Conductors

- Photovoltaics

- Batteries

- Memory

The coverage is global - with companies from East Asia to Europe to America all included.

The application of the technology in relation to other types such as organic electronics and silicon chips is given.

Elements Being Targeted:

In order to meet the widening variety of needs for printed and potentially printed electronics, not least in flexible, low cost form, a rapidly increasing number of elements are being brought to bear. Oxides, amorphous mixtures and alloys are particularly in evidence. Even the so-called organic devices such as OLEDs variously employ such materials as B, Al and Ti oxides and nitrides as barrier layers against water and oxygen, Al, Cu, Ag and indium tin oxide as conductors, Ca or Mg cathodes and CoFe nanodots, Ir and Eu in light emitting layers, for example.

Companies Mentioned:

- Boeing Spectrolab

- Cambrios

- DaiNippon Printing

- Evonik

- G24i

- Hewlett Packard

- InkTec

- ITRI Taiwan

- Kovio Inc

- Kiasol?

- NanoForge

- Nanogram Teijin

- NanoMas Technologies

- Peratech

- Samsung

- Soligie

- Toppan Forms
