Thank you for your Nomination!

Printed Electronics Now is a new online publication devoted to the fast growing field of electronic products created through the printing process, an emerging industry that promises to revolutionize the methods in which electronic components and systems are manufactured.
 
As our name indicates, printed electronics is happening now, and will continue to be a major force in electronics now and into the future. Printed electronics means that electronic circuits and components – even the intelligent chips themselves – can literally be printed in place on a variety of substrates, over areas both large and small. They can be flexible and they can be inexpensive, which opens up many new opportunities in a wealth of markets.
 
Printed electronics covers solar cells, batteries, displays, sensors, medical devices, military equipment, and much more. In the near future, the world will be treated to displays on packages, on pharmaceuticals that remind users when to take the drugs, more advanced electronic readers, flexible dashboard displays in vehicles, printed solar panels, and disposable devices that promise to revolutionize medical testing.
 
Because the industry is embryonic, the need for the timely dissemination of information is critical. That’s the role of Printed Electronics Now.
 
Printed Electronics Now is your resource for a wealth of information about the industry:
