Abstract

In today’s society one has his own mass-produced mobile phone that enables the user to connect with people all over the world from any location and at any moment. There is a large evolution of mobile devices and the present day’s fashion-conscient consumer is inclined to follow these evolutions. As a result there is a very large and worldwide market for mobile communication devices and handheld computers, i.e. netbooks. The trend towards smaller and lighter devices conflicts with the interest for larger screens in these devices. In this context, it is worth it to have a look at organic electronics on foil.
