Encapsulation roundup: barrier films close in on OLED-grade moisture blocking at a fraction of the cost
Multilayer dyad barrier stacks are approaching thin-film-encapsulation-grade water vapour transmission rates without the vacuum deposition equipment bill.
OPV research roundup: indoor energy harvesting inches toward the mainstream
Indoor photovoltaics are quietly becoming organic electronics' most practical near-term market — powering sensors and e-labels where batteries and wiring don't make sense.
The road to $96.77 billion: what 12.2% CAGR really demands from flexible electronics
Forecasts put flexible electronics at $96.77 billion by 2033. We unpack what that growth rate assumes — and where the risk sits between the curve and reality.
