Sensors, Haptics & Displays

The printed electronics industry shows a huge interest in sensors as it seeks to forget the failures from the past.

Many people tell us that the Internet of Things (IoT) is much more than the narrow definition of systems based on IP addressed microcontrollers with sensors.

The metal oxide backplane technology has many clear advantages.

In 2025 over $25 billion will be spent on formulations and intermediate materials for wearable technology, as forecast by analysts IDTechEx in the brand new report Wearable Technology Materials 2015-2025.

Thermoelectric harvesting will be on production hybrid electric on-road vehicles from 2018. It will be commonplace on hybrids in 2020 and almost entirely to charge the battery, or increasingly supercapacitor or supercabattery used for power.

The progress of virtual reality headsets.

Load bearing structures that are also electronic or electrical are called structural electronics. This two-for-the-price-of-one approach can be more reliable, attractive and long-lived and it always saves space.

In the research carried out for the new IDTechEx report, "The Internet of Things: Business Opportunities 2015-2025", we define IoT as based on IP addressed sensor nodes.

The reasons why CEOs want to come to the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA event.

Intel have released the long-awaited Edison - a powerful microcontroller the size of an SD card.
