What is Plastic Electronics?
• Uses novel materials (substrates, functional materials)• Uses novel manufacturing processes (additive printing)• Creates novel applications• Can be passive or active• Can use organic or inorganic (or both) semiconductor materials• Can be rigid, formable, foldable, flexible or creasable• Applications include:• E-paper, e-newspaper, e-books, posters, billboards• RFID tags• Sensor assemblies• Disposable medical sensors• Bio-engineering products• Toys, games, consumer disposables

Perceived importance of the IndustrialPlastic Electronics activity in the UK
• ~ part of sector £9 Million in current competition ofTechnology Programme– New fast track projects for <£250k grant
• Possible Innovation Platform in Plastic Electronics• - up to £50 Million ring fenced over 5-6 years• - Industrial sector determines what money should
be spent on• Plastic Electronics entirely suited to:• - fabless domestic production• - SME production with batch process• - OEM production with roll to roll process
Brings JOB CREATION +
