Euro Organic Electronics Market Takes Shape, Investors Ignore It
We noticed that the Organic Semiconductor Conference to be held in September in Frankfurt dropped the "Semiconductor" from its name. The change highlights the trend that sees polymer or organic electronics, a technology that so far is mainly targeted at flat screen displays, moving into radio frequency ID chips, solar cells, and memory devices.
Memory Devices On Polymer Are Lightweight And Dramatically Increase Storage, Says Thin Film Electronics
But we're wondering why there aren't any venture capital firms or investment banks scheduled to take the podium or take part in the business and marketing panel discussions.
Looking at the roster, there will be a lot of startups on hand. There's the ones we know like Novaled, Oled-T, Nanoident, MicroEmissive Displays, Liquavista, PolyIC, and Plextronics (which just got funded this week, according to sister pub alarm:clock).
And we see some new names like Xaar, out of the UK and Thin Film Electronics out of Sweden, which looks like it has some pretty interesting printable memory "chips" in the works. It was recently trying to raise funding but didn't close the round as far as we know.
