Wearable Technology: The $70bn Picture
Wearable technology mainly concerns devices and apparel/textiles. Devices are discrete electronic and electrical hardware sold on its own for bodywear. It may be utilised by being attached to apparel or by constituting worn accessories such as electronic watches and earphones. Glasses, jewellery, headgear, belts, armwear, wristwear, legwear, footwear and even skin patches are involved and the device business is already large.
Can the IoT drive energy harvester adoption?
A broad term referring to applications as diverse as internet connected vehicles to consumer electronics such as smart phones, the Internet of Things (IoT) adds connectivity. In order to provide the identification of objects, sensing, control and automation, the edge of the IoT network consists of simpler sensors and wireless devices. Potentially the highest volume of all devices and at the lowest price points, adding power to the simplest, passi...
TCF report explores complex yet booming market landscape
Already a large and well-established business, transparent conductive sheets (on glass or other substrates) are used in a variety of applications. The non-display sector alone (including touch) is set to generate $1.4 billion in 2014 at the sheet level. This is a fast growing sector with a 6% CAGR between 2014 and 2024.
Hybrid and pure electric vehicles market to reach $334 Billion by 2023
IDTechEx have forecasted that the total global gross value market for hybrid and pure electric vehicles will reach $334 Billion (USD) within the decade. Nearly always purchased based on the total cost of ownership rather than up-front price, IDTechEx expects this to consist primarily of large or very heavy duty military, industrial and commercial vehicles split evenly between on-road and off-road types. The multi-billion dollar marine sector is e...
Are organic solar cell opportunities re-emerging?
Leading players developing and commercializing the third-generation of photovoltaic technologies (including organic photovoltaics and dye-sensitised solar cells) will be brought together at the Printed Electronics and Energy Harvesting & Storage USA 2013 events. Conference participators include Total, Armor, SolarPrint, Dyesol, CSIRO, EMD Chemical, NREL, Applied Materials and New Energy Technologies.
Second Chance for OLED Lighting?
By Dr Norman Bardsley & Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh OLED technology is improving rapidly and now gives the best performance in displays for mobile phones. The technology has also reached the level at which substantial penetration of the lighting market might be possible, provided stringent cost targets can be met. Light fixtures such as those shown below have created excitement amongst lighting designers and luminaire manufacturers. Indeed, the i...
Printed Electronics USA covers the booming and dynamic ITO replacement market
The transparent conductive film (TCF) and glass (TCG) market is booming and fast becoming transformed. This market is forecast to grow to $6.3 billion market in 2024. New applications and market trends are changing the requirement landscape, and in many instances stretching it beyond what the incumbent solution can readily achieve.
New High Temperature Capacitor For Electric Vehicles
Hybrids and pure electric vehicles rely on high efficiency power conversion and management. The power electronics found in these vehicles require cooling because of limitations in the temperature rating of components such as capacitors, which are used to store electrical energy. This in turns adds weight to the vehicles and drags down their reliability and efficiency.
Supercapacitors Gain Ascendancy
Life is good for supercapacitors manufacturers and developers. That includes those involved in the intermediate product, the supercabattery or Asynchronous Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor (AEDLC) with its higher energy density achieved in a compromise of other operational parameters intermediate between supercapacitors and batteries, notably the supercabattery called a lithium-ion capacitor.
