From a technology standpoint, all printed electronic applications require one or more conductive layers that can be integrated with organic semiconductors, dielectrics and other conductive films.  Plexcore® OC is a solution-processable, organic conductive ink that can serve multiple functions in printed electronic devices. Plexcore® OC inks are ideal for integration into various printed electronic devices because they can be tailored to the particular needs of a device. Additionally, Plexcore® OC inks are chemically and thermally stable, making them easy to use in the production environment.

For the commercialization of low-cost electronics, silicon semiconductors must be replaced with more cost effective materials, from both a raw materials and production process standpoint.  Plexcore® OS, an organic semiconductor, is the technology enabling a revolutionary class of low-cost electronics—from printed RFID tags for supply chain management and product authentication to printed backplanes for advertising and consumer electronics.
