POLYTRONICS EMERGING FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
[attachment=49728]
Abstract:
For many years plastics were well known merely as INSULATORS and were used predominantly for shielding copper wires. Now the emerging new technology POLYTRONICS, changes our viewpoint in visualizing the conducting polymers as a material of MICROELECTRONICS.
Microelectronics technology in conjunction with silicon is flexible enough to easy rolling up of circuits that consume less power and above all they can be manufactured at a fraction of cost involved in making semiconductor chips. This technology has number of upcoming areas of interest where lot of research is going on to manufacture microelectronic components on plastic substrates which would allow manufacturing of gadgets through just printing process. In this paper I would like to impart my ideas on INKJET PRINTING TECHNOLOGY which plays main role in printing polymer circuits.
Introduction:
Silicon has largely influenced the Electronics industry and would continue to do so over a period of time. However, technologists are now looking at other alternatives, mainly “PLASTIC CIRCUITS”, to meet our future needs. Here is a look into how plastics would influence the world of electronics.
The study of usage of polymeric materials in electronics is termed as “POLYTRONICS”.This polytronics has some advantages over silicon technology.
Plastic batteries:
Plastic batteries are new type of low power batteries that do not require a case and are thin enough to be printed on a paper. They are of low cost and can be mass produced as the battery material is roughly 0.5 millimeters thick.
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED):
Unlike traditional LCD’s, OLED’s are self-luminous and do not require backlighting, diffusers, polarizers or any other baggage that goes with liquid crystal displays. OLED consists of two charged electrodes on the top of some organic light emitting material. This eliminates the need for bulky and environmentally undesirable mercury lamps and fields a thinner, more versatile and more compact display.
CONCLUSION:
In today’s world of ever-expanding technology, Polytronics is going to change the whole world of consumer electronics and form the principal root for the major advancement in the design of electronic circuits and manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCB).The era of polymer electronics has taken a great start and all the technological companies have turned their entire research towards Polytronics. So I conclude that, in the forthcoming years Polytronics will accelerate the pace of the technological advancements and describe a new dimension in the near future.
