CLIP newsletter: Conductive inks: the advantages

The next-generation printed electronics industry requires new tools to match new possibilities. CLIP aims to develop the inks needed for high-volume printed and flexible electronics.

Printed electronics presents a wide variety of possibilities. New means of manufacturing electronics with simple, cheap processing could radically alter the foundations of the semiconductor industry. Equally, new possibilities could be enabled when flexible and integrated electronic circuitry and components are enabled. Animated packaging, integrated solar cells and flexible rolls of OLED lighting are among the concepts being pursued as part of the printed electronics movement.

Such innovations rely on a working value chain of materials, components, printing tools and production lines.
