Global Barrier Layers for Flexible Electronics Market 2015-2025: Technologies & Forecasts Analysis of the $550 Million Industry
M2 - Thu Nov 13, 8:28AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qj7fwm/barrier_layers) has announced the addition of the "Barrier Layers for Flexible Electronics 2015-2025: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts" report to their offering. A large opportunity lies in the development of devices in a flexible form factor that can operate without deterioration in performance, allowing them to be more robust, lightweight and versatile in their use. In order for flexible displays and photovoltaics to be commercially successful, they must be robust enough to survive for the necessary time and conditions required of the device. This condition has been a limitation of many flexible, organic or printable electronics. This highlights the fact that beyond flexibility, printability and functionality, one of the most important requirements is encapsulation as many of the materials used in printed or organic electronic displays are chemically sensitive, and will react with many environmental components such as oxygen and moisture. These materials can be protected using substrates and barriers such as glass and metal, but this results in a rigid device and does not satisfy the applications demanding flexible devices. Plastic substrates and transparent flexible encapsulation barriers can be used, but these offer little protection to oxygen and water, resulting in the devices rapidly degrading. For these (and other) reasons, there has been intense interest in developing transparent barrier materials with much lower permeabilities, a market that will reach over $550 million by 2025. This report addresses specific topics such as: - Companies which are active in the development of high barrier films and their achievements on the field to date. The report covers a range of approaches in encapsulation, such as dyads, deposition of inorganic layers on plastic substrates and flexible glass. - Surface smoothness and defects (such as cracks and pinholes) and the effect that these would have on the barrier behavior of the materials studied. - Traditional methods of measurement of permeability are reaching the end of their abilities. The MOCON WVTR measurement device, which has been an industry standard, cannot give adequate measurements at the low levels of permeability required for technologies such as organic photovoltaics and OLEDs. Other methods of measurement and equipment developed are being discussed. - Forecasts for displays, lighting and thin film photovoltaics (in terms of market value as well as area of barrier film sold into different verticals), in order to understand the influence that the development of flexible barriers would have at the mass deployment and adoption of these technologies. Key Topics Covered: 1. Scope 2. Barrier Technology Reaching Maturity - Commercialization Status 3. Introduction To Encapsulation 4. Surface Smoothness - Defects 5. Barrier Technologies: Past Developments 6. Advances In Barrier Manufacturing Processes 7. Barrier Adhesives 8. Company Profiles 9. Addressable Market Segments For Barrier Film Technologies 10. Barrier Measurements 11. Forecasts For Barrier Films For Flexible Electronics 2015-2025 12.

Global Metal Oxide TFT Backplanes for Displays Market 2014-2024: Technologies, Forecasts, Players
M2 - Thu Nov 13, 8:17AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gqlqr5/_metal_oxide_tft) has announced the addition of the " Metal Oxide TFT Backplanes for Displays 2014-2024: Technologies, Forecasts, Players" report to their offering. Metal oxide display backplanes have already gone commercial. Sharp has invested in establishing a Gen8 IGZO plant at its Kameyama plant in Japan while LG has also selected IGZO backplanes for its large-sized white OLED technology. At the same time, Chinese companies such as BOE are fast playing catch up with both prototype and production capacity announcements. IDTechEx estimates that 7 km sqr of metal oxide backplanes will be used in the OLED industry in 2024, enabling a 16 billion USD market at the display module level. The LCD display market will add an extra demand of at least 1 km sqr per year in 2024 for metal oxide backplanes. The display industry continues to rapidly change and seek new markets. Long term trends are still prevalent and shape global activity. Examples include reducing power consumption, improving image resolution, and decreasing device thickness. At the same, the need to differentiate and capture new markets such as wearable electronics is first bringing in robust and then flexible and bendable displays. These trends will drastically affect the technology requirements at many levels including the backplane level. This will stretch several existing solutions beyond likely performance limits, thereby creating openings and opportunities. The technology space for backplanes is complex. It consists of (a) mature technologies such as amorphous and polycrystalline silicon, (b) emerging technologies such as organic and metal oxides and (c) early state technologies such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, etc. No single technology offers a one-size-fits-all solution and many technologies will co-exist in the market. Betting on the right technology will remain a decision-making nightmare. It is within this complex and changing space that metal oxide are emerging. They promise low leakage currents, high mobility, amorphousity, stability and wide bandgap. These attributes promise to enable, respectively, power consumption reduction, compatibility with current-driven OLEDs and/or 3D displays, image uniformity over large areas, long lifetime and transparency. In the short term, this will help enable higher resolution and lower power consumption levels in displays including LCDs (particularly in medium- to large-sized displays); while in the medium- to long-term metal oxides will help enable uniform medium- to large-sized OLED displays.
