Organic Electronics Materials: New Revenues and New Challenges

The bottom line is that - one way or another - the OLED materials market should reach $4.4 billion by 2015, if substrates are included.

But there are going to have to be some pretty big changes at the supply end of things. Today’s organic semiconductor materials are for inadequate for the opportunity ahead. Besides their limits on performance, many of them are only available in small quantities. When it comes down to it a lot of organic electronics these days involves just a few kinds organic materials; pentacene, PEDOT, P3AT, P3HT and so on.
