From solar PV to wearables – digital printing technologies are booming
Interview with Alan Hodgson, Chair, Technical Committee 119: Printed electronicsAlan Hodgson participated in several sessions during the Printing for Fabrication conference organized by the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) in Dresden, Germany, in September.
All systems under control
How to make sure avionics devices and systems meet the strictest requirementsAvionics - a term coined from the merging of aviation and electronics - deals with all electronic devices and systems that perform specific individual functions on aircraft, satellites and spacecraft.
Upcoming global events (October 2017-February 2018)
On the agenda: EMC, 5G networks, energy efficiency, IoT, HVDC, displays, hydrogen fuel cells and SCADA systemsThe IEC regularly endorses key global and regional industry events.
August, September and October 2017 nominations and extensions
The latest TC chair nominations and extensions approved by the SMBOver the past few months, the Standardization Management Board (SMB) nominated several new chairs for different IEC technical committees (TCs).
Printed electronics gathering pace
Printed electronics has moved rapidly from lab to manufacturing processes in recent yearsPrinted electronics is a relatively new technology, but it has already proven a disruptive, yet creative process that allows the production of new products and components, low-cost electronic devices, which open the way to a range of new applications. It has started transforming the electronics industry and many other domains by being included in different manufacturing processes. This new technology led to the creation, in 2011, of IEC Technical Committee (TC) 119: Printed electronics.
Connecting the printed electronics and wearables communities
Wearable devices will benefit from advances in printed electronics technologiesPrinted electronics as a manufacturing method has become established in a number of areas across the electrotechnical world. The connections that are made are emerging as particularly significant in the new generation of wearable electronic devices. Although some wearable applications can be realized using wholly conventional rigid electronics, many will require some element of flexibility. Standardization work by a number of IEC Technical Committees (TCs) and subcommittees (SCs) is central to this development.
New edition of Standard for OLED displays
Measurement conditions and measuring methods for optical and electro-optical parameters to ensure better image qualityThe quest for better television pictures has been ongoing ever since TV was invented and in particular after it started reaching a wider audience. The second edition of an International Standard for Organic LED (OLED) displays adds to a series that will contribute to better image quality on these displays.
Supporting technologies for photovoltaics
Barrier layer assemblies and printed electronics bound to play major role, especially in thin-film flexible PV panelsThere are a number of technologies supporting the development and further implementation of photovoltaic (PV) devices. International Standards developed by several IEC Technical Committees (TCs) and Subcommittees (SCs) in the barrier layer assemblies and printed electronics domains underpin this implementation.
Upcoming global events (December 2016-April 2017)
On the agenda: displays, energy storage, Smart Grids, metering and IECExThe IEC regularly supports key global and regional industry events, which can present the IEC endorsement on their website and materials.
Sensor networks, wearable printed electronics and AAL
Wearable printed electronics will play a central role in Active Assisted LivingSensors provide information about objects, or people and their environment. Networks of sensors in the shape of wearable electronics and integrated into the living environment will support Active Assisted Living (AAL) into the future. Sensors and printed electronics will be increasingly integrated into smart wearable devices to facilitate the implementation of AAL.
New ways of seeing, working and doing business
Virtual and augmented reality applications can improve surgery techniques, increase manufacturing efficiency and take the way we view sports to a new levelInitially developed for military and subsequently gaming scenarios, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications have found their way into many industries, which are enhancing their products and services through innovative technology.
e-books
Bookmark your library – digitized text in handThe e-book and its tablet form have come a long way since the first digital devices were announced. The original models were greeted with a fair amount of skepticism. There was doubt concerning proprietary software that might constrain the choice of model or reading titles, and a possible lack of connectivity that would prevent widespread use. Now, all of that seems to be changing, and the original skepticism has given way to enthusiasm and a multitude of new developments.
