Project (by Sarnoff Corp with DuPont de Nemours and Co Central Research and Development) to print organic transistors on plastic for electronic displays and circuits. The goal is to develop materials, thin flexible plastic substrates, and methods for continuous high-resolution printing. 

The market for printed electronics, including organic, inorganic, and composite materials, was estimated at 1.2 billion in 2007, with expected growth to a level of 48.2 bUhon level by 2017. ... 

In the academic setting, inkjet resolution reported for printed organic electronic materials is approximately 20-25 Lxm for untreated substrates and 5 p,m for thermal laser printing. For conductive metallic features, features of 10 Lxm or less have been reported for untreated surfaces. These limits can be further reduced by pretreating the substrate, for example by creating hydrophobic/ hydrophilic dewetting patterns.
