Summary

On November 18th 1998, the ATP Organic Electronics Technologies Workshop marked the beginning of a new ATP interest area and concentrated discussion topic with U.S. industry. The workshop had the purpose of engaging the electronics/photonics and supporting infrastructure industries in discussions which will assist them in competing in the ATP's FY 1999 and later competitions.

The workshop gave participants the opportunity to explore the current state of organic electronics technologies, considering both the expanding business potentials across a diverse set of electrical or optical product functions, and the technological factors which inhibit the widespread insertion of these technologies within future commercial products. In particular, the workshop:

  • provided industry with a crosscutting view of business opportunities and technical barriers for organic electronic technologies,
  • guided ATP in determining its future role in high technical risk R&D in this topic, and
  • helped industry identify appropriate issues for industry-government partnerships within the ATP.
ATP targeted participation by industrial researchers, managers and business specialists, and university experts across a spectrum of disciplines including the materials, equipment, device and various user sectors for it's 1998 workshop. In total some sixty persons participated, fourty-two from U.S. companies, fourteen from academia, two from U.S. industry-based consortia, and three from agencies of the U.S. Government.

Below you will find materials presented and resulting from the workshop. We hope you find this of value as you consider ATP and your future opportunities.
