SUMMARY:Pioneering Printed Electronics: The NEXT Breakout Business-Growth Opportunity (Seminar Session) (R33)
DESCRIPTION:Fee: $125 (counts as 1 seminar towards a Value Package Plan) View Pricing
 
Speaker: Malcolm G. Keif
Description:
Let’s face it, you  need more work. That’s why NOW is the  ideal time to explore emerging markets that  are projected to grow  exponentially: the manufacturing of simple electronic  components  including printed batteries, photovoltaics (solar cells),   electroluminescent signs, OLED lighting, etc.  These functional products  involve printing  patterns with conductive and dielectric inks—Printed  Electronics. This session is  your introduction to the various forms of  printed electronics.  Here you will learn about common technologies   used for production, unique production challenges, tools used for   characterizing and validating various ink layers, and how you can  transition YOUR  business to produce printed electronics in the future.  You Will Learn:

Several  printed electronics applications, markets, and growth projections for these  markets
Manufacturing  techniques used for both conventional and printed organic electronics
Specific  challenges and characteristics needed to optimize patterning and coating for  electronics
Sample  printing specifications and tolerances for electronics
Instruments  used to measure and profile functional inks/layers
Equipment  and plant modifications needed for this market 

Who Should Attend:  Owners/CEOs, Market Development  and Sales Managers, Research and Development Personnel, and  Operations Managers
Business Categories: Entrepreneurship, Executive, Management, Packaging, Printable  Electronics, Production, Sales and Marketing, Trends and Opportunities
