Market Research Report Released on Barrier Films for Flexible Electronics

The biggest opportunity for OLED displays and organic photovoltaics is when these devices can be flexible, allowing them to be more robust, versatile and made in large areas compared to conventional displays and photovoltaics. However, many of the materials used in OLED displays and organic photovoltaics are sensitive to the environment, limiting their lifetime. 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.

Research Report on Global Market for Solar Technology

Efficiency of different solar technologies is improving rapidly. Innovation is occurring all over the world. Even German medium-sized companies are actively contributing when it comes to exploring new markets for PV production plants. The single most significant economic factor driving adoption of solar initiatives is the prospect of carbon use surcharges. As coal, gas, and oil usage are taxed to help prevent pollution and stimulate use of renewable energy sources, solar energy becomes more attractive to the utility grid electricity providers. The environmental impact of energy use choices promises to be an ongoing factor in energy grid supply.
