Organic Electronics to Reach $19.7 Billion by 2012

• Improved manufacturing processes: As the OE business grows, equipment suppliers have a strong incentive to build specialist production equipment to serve the needs of this budding industry. For example, organic vapor deposition (OVPD) systems promise better performance and cost characteristics for organics than the traditional vacuum deposition methods used in the semiconductor industry. Gen 7 ink-jet printers from firms such as Litrex will also pave the way to the rapid commercialization of organic electronics.
