New Way to Produce Electronic Components Can Lead to Cheap and Flexible Electronics

摘要

»The method is simple and can there-fore be of interest for future mass production of cheap electronics,« says physicist Ludvig Edman. Organic chemistry is a rapidly expan-ding research field that promises exci-ting and important applications such as flexible display screens and cheap solar cells. One attractive feature is that organic electronic materials can be processed from a solution. »This makes it possible to paint thin films of electronic materials on flexible sur-faces like paper or plastic,« explains Ludvig Edman.
