OVERVIEW

Organic electronics is of enormous technological interest for its ability to integrate circuits, batteries, sensors, and other functionalities on flexible plastic substrates using solution and printing processes at near room temperature, and a wide range of organic devices are now being actively researched and developed. Recently organic EL displays incorporating OLEDs reached the marketplace, and we are already beginning to see the emergence of viable devices based on organic semiconductors. Already positioning itself to become a major player in the new emerging organic electronics business, Hitachi Group is moving rapidly ahead with R&D on organic TFTs, organic actuators, and other organic devices, and has already verified the operation of prototype devices built using solution-processed materials anticipating the growing use of solution and printing-based processing.
