Sensors for medical applications, smart textiles and OLEDs for the automotive industry: numerous industries rely on printed and flexible electronics in their innovation process. LOPEC, the international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry, which took place from 19 to 21 March in Munich, Germany, reflects this trend. Science and industry provided important stimuli to the subject of mobility with the future topic of 3D structural electronics.
In-line material characterisation and analysis technology developed for the European Smartonics project. The centre unit is the Raman head and the units either side are part of the ellipsometer. The instrumentation is mounted on a gantry that moves backwa
HORIBA (Kyoto, Japan), a world-renowned OEM of instruments and measurement systems, has successfully implemented in-line, non-destructive, non-intrusive and non-contact material analysis and characterisation techniques into roll-to-roll printed electronics manufacturing to provide quality assurance and improve yield.
