The first generation of wearable devices are constructed using mature, rigid technologies put inside a new box that can be worn. These are often bulky devices that are not truly wearable in the sense that our clothes are. This is, however, beginning to change... albeit slowly. New conformal, clothing-based components are emerging. By Dr. Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Director, IDTechEx.

IDTechEx Research has released new forecasts for the OLED display market. OLED is an emissive display technology which is gaining significant market share against LCD. OLED was initially adopted in mobile phones but can now be found in tablets, TVs and wearables. This latest IDTechEx Research report, OLED Display Forecasts 2016-2026: The Rise of Plastic and Flexible Displays, says the market will reach nearly $16bn this year and will grow to $57b...

The report from IDTechEx Research, Lithium-ion Batteries 2016-2026, finds that at around $140bn in 2026, the Li-ion battery business will dominate the battery business. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a new approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. By Rachel Gordon, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

IDTechEx announces today that Europe’s largest event on emerging technologies, the IDTechEx Show! held in Berlin on 27-28 April, grew 27% vs. last year’s event. This year’s exhibition and conference featured attendees from 57 countries with 171 exhibitors and 2,300 attendees. The event covered a number of interrelated emerging technologies, including printed electronics, wearable technology, IoT, advanced materials, energy stora...

At first it seems ridiculous that IDTechEx forecasts a huge growth in the power electronics business for electric vehicles. Yes, there is tending to be two motors per car or larger vehicle not one now and that means many more motor controllers. Yes, the market is growing for the vehicles and each car or larger vehicle has a charger and a battery management system on board, both being power electronics but that alone is insufficient to create the ...

While there are obviously similarities, different applications have different key requirements of the TIMs. In all cases, the TIM needs to minimise stress, prevent electromigration of its fillers and maximise adhesion. Thermal Interface Materials 2016-2026 explores in detail the relationship between the form factors and characteristics of different commercial product offerings and their applications, focused on new opportunities and gaps in the m...

This article shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx Research report, “Electric Vehicle Traction Motors, Belt Driven & Integrated Starter Generators 2016-2026”. It is no longer contentious to say that the future of land, water and air vehicles is to be more and more electric. The detail of how this is being achieved is rich and varied and it revolves around the electric motor and its variants far more than the more-discus...

Last week IDTechEx gave the opening presentation at the 2016 Korea Summit for Smart Wearable Devices, hosted by KDIA and KSA in Seoul, Korea. Wearable sensors once again dominated discussion throughout the day, with latest examples of options in MEMS, textiles and more presented at length in the conference. Additional discussions throughout the day extended to topics like glucose sensing (including enzyme-free examples), sensor fusion and beyond....

Many interests have been raised within the battery business in 2015 through a number of activities: the launch of Tesla’s Powerwall with low prices supported by the capability of Gigafactory; Apple’s patent relating to charging and managing power in a device with solid-state batteries; LG Chem's opening of a mega battery plant in Nanjing; Bosch’s purchase of polymer solid-state battery company Seeo, etc.
