Masterclass 1: Introduction to Printed Electronics
October 7
8:30am - 12:30pm
Professor Iain McCulloch Imperial College, UK
Mr Raghu Das, CEO IDTechEx, USA
Designed for those who are new to this disruptive technology or need to understand the big picture to assess the challenges and opportunities, this Masterclass
will arm you with the latest knowledge of the applications and technology developments involving printed electronics. Led by experts, it is the ideal time to voice your questions as part of the interactive session and learn of
the technologies that are available and emerging. The session will cover:
- Applications of printed electronics - now and near future
- Lessons to be learnt from early successes and failures
- The value chain
- Market forecasts
- The need for printed electronics
- Key markets that need printed electronics - reasons why and their technology requirements
- Creating new markets versus competing with conventional electronics in existing ones
- Assessment of technologies, companies, strategies and progress so far, including
- Thin film transistor circuits (organic, inorganic semiconductors, thin film silicon)
- Displays (OLEDs, electrophoretic, electroluminescent, electrochromatic and others)
- Sensors and conductive inks
- Batteries and actuators
- A discussion of manufacturing techniques, their relevancy and challenges
- Challenges and the roadmap to the full printed electronics toolkit
Masterclass 2: Printing Technologies and Materials
October 7
1:30pm to 5:30pm
Professor Iain McCulloch Imperial College, UK
Mr Raghu Das, CEO - IDTechEx, USA
Ms Debbie Thorp iTi, UK
Dr Bruce Kahn - IDTechEx, UK
In addition, we look in detail at the printing technologies, demystifying the how, where, why and what next, bringing the subject alive with many real world examples. We go through inkjet printing, gravure, flexo, litho, DPN, screen and other types assessing their relevance to printed electronics.
Who are the major suppliers of materials by type? What are the biggest material challenges? What are the latest emerging materials capable of achieving? What are the biggest issues with printing electronics? Who is using what and why? It is all covered here by experts in material development and printing technologies. From organic semiconductors to liquid silicon to quantum dots and inkjet printing to lithography- attend this masterclass to understand the full range of materials and printing processes, their strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and much more.
Masterclass 3: Displays & Lighting
October 10
8:30am - 12:30pm
Associate Professor Vivek Subramanian University of California, USA
Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman IDTechEx, UK
Dr Bruce Kahn - IDTechEx, UK
Displays will be one of the largest market segments in printed/organic electronics. For example, Samsung has invested over $500 million in developing next generation OLED displays. Already 70% of the MP3 flash memory music devices use an OLED display. However, OLEDs are just the tip of the iceberg with electroluminescent, electrophoretic and electrochromic displays with unique benefits being commercially used now. Within ten years we will also see another major development - conventional lighting being replaced with lighting that is laminar and flexible.

Masterclass 4:Photovoltaics Beyond Conventional Silicon
October 10
1:30pm to 5:30pm
Associate Professor Vivek Subramanian University of California, USA
Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman IDTechEx, UK
This masterclass is designed to give an overall picture of photovoltaic technologies, from basic principles all the way to current advances. The masterclass is structured as follows:
a. Photovoltaics: Basic principles and operation. Heterojunctions
b. After an overview of underlying principles, further details will be given on specific technologies:
-
Organic and hybrid organic/inorganic photovoltaics
-
Dye-sensitised solar cells, and
-
Thin film technologies (e.g. amorphous silicon, CdTe, CIGS)
-
III-V/ II-VI multijunctions
c. Advances/ Cutting Edge Applications
d. Market Analysis
Please choose either the Masterclass or Company Tour option. You cannot attend both as they are held at the same time. Places on the tours are strictly limited. Please register early to secure your place. The tours are only available to attendees booking for the 2 day conference.
