SUMMARY:&quot\;Printed and plastic electronics: will the microchips of the
  future be printed?&quot\; - Dr Enrico Gili\, Department of Physics
DTSTART:20110204T180000Z

UID:TALK29343@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Xavier Moya
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 10 years\, a new field of electronics has been d
 eveloped\, which is referred to as plastic or printed electronics. In this
  approach\, organic or\, more generally\, printable materials are used to 
 build electronic circuits. This is opposed to conventional inorganic mater
 ials such as silicon\, which are usually deposited under vacuum. The devel
 opment of printable materials has made it possible to manufacture electron
 ics using the basic processes already developed by the printing industry. 
 This is leading to the creation of a whole range of novel products such as
  rollable displays\, flexible photovoltaic cells and large area lighting. 
 This novel technology will not substitute the well developed silicon (and 
 in general inorganic) microelectronics but will facilitate the development
  of new products complementary to those already possible using conventiona
 l technologies.
