Printed electronics makes new applications possible that are not or hardly reachable for classical electronics because of its design and cost. There are new mass markets for low-cost, thin and flexible electronics that can be integrated into packages or other substrates easily because of their design on flexible polyester substrates. Therefore, polymer electronics is no direct competitor to conventional electronics, but rather opens up new markets in price-sensitive mass applications.



The main areas of application for printed electronics are:

  • RFID (radio frequency identification) tags for contactless identification of products
  • Smart objects as combined systems of different polymer electronics components
