Organic electronics - towards a cost-efficient heterointegration platform for multi-functional systems

Current trends in the development of electronic systems show, that the provision of thin flexible components and semiconductors plays a decisive role in the steadily progressing development of highly integrated systems. A new generation of thin flexible systems arises. At present, this world is very much dominated by inorganic active materials, but new functionality based on plastic materials is developing fast. This paper aims to present an overview of these technologies.
