Printed organic solar cells were initially one of the most promising technologies in the printed electronics landscape. However, the ability to transfer the results from the lab to manufacturing was part of the reason that the technology never reached the mainstream. Today, some companies are having some success in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPV).
However, the growing interest in sensors and the need to create energy harvesting systems is increasingly important. That is where Epishine comes in.
With an eye on sensors, consumer electronics and other indoor applications, Epishine just released its first commercial product. Its light energy harvesting modules (LEHs) are a thin and flexible organic solar cell that can reduce or eliminate the need for batteries. It is encapsulated in recyclable plastics and printed using roll-to-roll processes.
“The optimal markets for our light cell are, for example, remote sensors and small displ
