Practically no graphene manufacturer is making significant revenue, let alone a profit, so continued funding will still be essential - but is there still enough cash being injected?

Event-based vision can be regarded as a subset of event based sensing. This is an alternative method to reading out data from a sensor. The approach and its benefits are best understood via comparison with conventional sensing.

Senior Technology Analyst, Dr Matthew Dyson shares insights on the new IDTechEx report: "Emerging Image Sensor Technologies 2021-2031" with IDTechEx CEO, Raghu Das

Wednesday 14 July 2021 - Emerging SWIR image sensor technologies, such as extend-range silicon; Hybrid photodetectors utilizing quantum dots or organic semiconductors; Thin film flexible photodetectors; Hyperspectral imaging; Event-based vision; Flexible x-ray image sensors.

Hyperspectral imaging is an important and growing application of image sensors. This premium article covers both the different methods of acquiring hyperspectral data, some of the major players, and applications including industrial inspection and land surveying.

2020 and 2021 are the years for the Mini-LED displays to boost. Backlit Mini-LEDs' taking off has also paved the way for Micro-LED displays, a potential display industry game-changer.

Image sensing is an essential capability, utilized across multiple applications that range from webcams and smartphone cameras to autonomous vehicles and industrial inspection.

What disruptions can Micro-LED displays bring to us, and will the future displays require Micro-LED technology? What are their potential applications and what are the hypes and realities? These are the questions addressed in the new IDTechEx report "Micro-LED Displays 2021-2031: Technology, Commercialization, Opportunity, Market and Players".

Similar to the LCD industry, in the Micro-LED display area, there are some merges, acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures. This short article will give you an introduction of the famous activities and provide an overall analysis on them.

Contents that will be covered in this webinar include: From Mini-LED to Micro-LED displays and what the trend means; Motivations and drivers of micro-LED displays; How COVID-19 can impact the business; and Discussion of value propositions of micro-LED displays

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have played an important role in our daily life, especially in the lighting applications. This article will give a short introduction to the inorganic LEDs, and players working in this field will be introduced as well.

From mobile phones, TVs, to cars and public screens, displays have become an important component in our daily life to convey information. There is an emerging display type— Micro-LED display, which has the potential to become the next-generation mainstream.

Due to the size miniaturization, the tiny inorganic LEDs of micro-LED displays typically have a very different performance compared with the relatively large LEDs used in lighting applications. This article will introduce the typical performance of inorganic micro-LEDs used in display applications, their challenges, and potential solutions.

Micro-LED, believed by many as the next-generation display technology, has been pursued by players of LED, display, OEM, materials and so on. It is also widely believed by many that Micro-LED displays are the replacement of OLED displays, especially in TV applications.

We are looking for entrepreneurial, enthusiastic people to join IDTechEx to apply their technical knowledge. You will be involved with technology scouting, market research and consultancy in a rapidly growing, exciting, global firm.

On 17-18th of February 2021 IDTechEx attended the virtual Photonics Plus virtual exhibition and conference. This premium article covers a selection of talks and commercial exhibitors, focusing on those deemed most interesting and commercially relevant (some of the exhibitors targeted purely scientific applications).

Additively manufactured electronics is an emerging approach that takes printed electronics into the third dimension. IDTechEx divides the sector into two aspects: 'fully additive' and 'printing onto 3D surfaces'. Both have multiple application opportunities that IDTechEx believes will develop over the next decade.

On 23rd February 2021 Nano Dimension organized and hosted a short conference on additively manufactured electronics (AME). IDTechEx was pleased to be invited as a speaker, and gave an overview of what we believe are the most promising future applications for additive electronics manufacturing. This premium article summarizes presentations given at the event.

Thursday 25 February 2021 - Solar cars and boats are now mainstream, some never plugging in. The technology of the most advanced ones is being licensed to others, a robot shuttle being next up.

Given the exciting properties, graphene has always been linked as a revolutionary material for the electronics industry. CVD graphene is cited as the ideal solution in providing a perfect single layer produced in a low cost continuous R2R process, but the manufacturing and commercial reality have proved very different. After a long period of research, and with players regularly exiting and entering the field, we are only now starting to see this technology mature and the dawn of the commercial reality.
