This study looks at the developments in display technology, conventional printing technologies, and material science that make it possible to use printing processes to produce electronic components and devices.

From the Inside Flap

The printing industry is about to enter a new age, one that may redefine, at least in part, its purpose and its product. Recent advances in material science now make it possible to use printing processes to produce electronic components and devices—with the potential to do so inexpensively and in great number. Printing, as a form of precise patterning, offers the greatest hope for enabling the "Internet of Things," a phase of technological evolution in which everyday objects in the environment incorporate some degree of intelligence.

Printed Electronics and the Automatic Identification of Objects provides a comprehensive overview of this topic. The purposes of this report are to:

* Communicate advances that are likely to enable the use of printing for the manufacture of electronic devices.
* Identify the materials and processes that will be used in the manufacture of printed electronics.
* Provide detailed information about intelligent documents and smart labels and the innovative uses of paper.
* Report on developments in the automatic identification of objects and the potential opportunities that may await the printing industry in the manufacture of components of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags.
* Survey the field in regard to the implementation of an RFID infrastructure to support the consumer goods supply chain and the potential for printing all or part of an RFID tag.
