Also as an online format, LOPEC is the world’s most important meeting point for the entire value chain of printed electronics. The LOPEC Conference with approximately 180 live presentations will be hosted on an online platform of Messe München from 23 to 25 March.
Epishine’s ”light cell” can change how we power small electronics – a thin and flexible organic solar cell that can be integrated in sensors, consumer electronics and other low power devices to reduce or eliminate the need of batteries.
TactoTek (Oulu, Finland), developer and licenser of in-mould structural electronics (IMSE) technology, recently published its achievements towards more sustainable electronics manufacturing. An independent lifecycle analysis (LCA) by the Finnish research institute VTT revealed that an electronics part manufactured using IMSE technology results in 35% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than a comparable conventional electronics design. In addition, because IMSE combines both mechanical structure and electronic function in a single part, an IMSE part typically uses 50-75% less plastics than a conventional assembly.
