Welcome to Nano ePrint

Printed electronics has been talked about for many years now as the next big wave of the electronics industry. The ability to “print” functionality which today would require a large silicon fab is seen as enabling a huge range of new products and applications. These will be driven in part by the extremely low cost of printing compared with traditional silicon wafer processes, but also by the greater range of physical form factors possible with robust, transparent thin-film semiconductors on flexible plastic or paper substrates.

However, the printed electronics industry still faces significant technology and market challenges. On the technical side, printed electronics requires a move away from very well established and characterised silicon wafer processes, instead adapting traditional printing approaches to electronics. The inherent limitations of these printing technologies, combined with the complex multi-layer material structures required for electronic devices, lead to significant process issues and poor device performance.

On the market side, most players in the printed electronics market have focused on perceived “killer applications” that offer potential multi-billion dollar opportunities for a single product. However, these applications require the creation of entirely new markets – they may ultimately be huge, but this will not happen overnight.

As a result, the printed electronics industry has yet to deliver anywhere close to its promised potential. The market for printed electronic logic, forecast by IDTechEx to be worth over $100 billion by 2028, is virtually non-existent today.

Nano ePrint has a unique patented approach to printed electronics that overcomes the key technical hurdles faced by others, along with a differentiated product strategy that allows immediate sales into a variety of existing applications while creating a roadmap towards truly delivering on the longer term potential of printed electronics.
