Metal Oxide TFT Markets ES

May 30, 2012 Category: Advanced Materials Emerging Electronics

This is the executive summary from the report, “Metal Oxide Thin-Film Transistor Markets.”   This report analyzes the market for the next wave of non-silicon TFTs to be pitched towards backplane and other applications.  This wave uses metallic oxides and TFTs made from these materials promise electron mobilities of more or less the same level as amorphous silicon, but with lower costs.  Interest in these materials is at a high point with some of the biggest names in displays – Sony, Sharp, Samsung, LG and Toshiba – making serious efforts to commercialize TFTs.

This report also examines the potential of these developments for new business revenues for materials firms that produce complex metallic oxide semiconductors.  Until very recently, the addressable markets for such materials have been entirely in the R&D space. This report examines the key markets for oxide TFTs in the LCD, OLED and e-paper space.  In addition, it also takes look at their role in other more speculative markets such as flexible displays, transparent electronics, sensors, RFID and even power electronics.

This report also presents an analysis and roadmap for the development of oxide OTFT technology both in terms of materials and manufacturing technology.  In terms of the former, it takes a look at the difference that the arrival of p-type oxide semiconductors may have on the commercialization of oxide TFT technology.  In addition, this report analyzes the market strategies for companies developing this technology and also includes an eight-year forecast made by application and material type.

CIGS PV Markets

May 14, 2012 Category: Renewable Energy

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “CIGS Photovoltaics Markets.”  This examines the future of this important solar panel technology from both the standpoint of the technical and the commercial.  And it does so with a background in which it seems likely that many of the subsidies that have helped solar in the past will fade away and that the world economy will not return to the strong growth of the last decade for quite some time.

Among the important technical aspects of CIGS that this report covers are the likely evolution of CIGS fabrication and encapsulation and how these factors factor into market expansion and cost reduction for CIGS.  Much of the report is also devoted to the role that CIGS will play in the building-integrated PV (BIPV market) and how flexibility and price parity with silicon solar panels could considerably improve the revenues generated by CIGS technology in the near future.

The  report includes an eight-year forecast in volume and value terms of CIGS markets broken out by applications and product type.  It also includes a discussion of the leading firms active in this space and their product/market strategies.

Plug In to Materials Trends for Smart Grid Applications

July 01, 2009 Category:

While the current electrical grid is a modern marvel, the smart grid of the future will include significant electrical storage as part of the solution to increase the grids efficiency, enhance reliability, and help reduce the environmental impact of supplying the electrical power needs of modern society. As a result, NanoMarkets believes chemical batteries, ultra‐capacitors, and the materials from which they are built represent an exciting business opportunity that is poised to take off in the near future. This report is designed to quantify that opportunity and identify the best strategies to capitalize on it.
