Group MS: Material science and technology

The global materials industry is expected to reach US$10 trillion in size in 2018 by recording an annual average growth rate of 5.2%. In addition, materials’ contribution to high-tech industries amounted to 70% in the ICT sector, 60% in environmental technology and 50% in biotech last year. In other words, product quality and industrial competitiveness hinge on materials these days. Therefore, materials science and technology has been enormously promoted in order to develop novel materials by means of unprecedented research methodology in which creative ideas and hi-tech are combined with each other. In the sessions, it is aimed to serve an excellent stage for the examination of emerging materials research and development.

Session MS 4: Materials and devices for flexible displays (Room: Estrel C1) 16:00 - 17:40
Convener/Chair: Dr. Young Tea Chun (University of Cambridge, UK; ytc24@cam.ac.uk)
 
Session description: Flexible Electronics is a new way of making electronics using novel electronic materials, often formulated as inks, and low-temperature processes such as printing and coating. Examples include lighting, displays, sensing systems and intelligent objects. The concept of using low-temperature manufacturing processes such as printing to deposit functional materials directly onto flexible substrates to make optoelectronic devices and intelligent systems is revolutionary from both cost and environmental perspectives. Manufacturing plants can be built with one tenth to one hundredth of the capital cost of conventional semiconductor or thin-film fabrication plants. Devices can be produced in high-volume over large areas on flexible substrates thereby enabling electronic systems to be deployed in a wide variety of non-traditional situations: on paper and plastic, on clothes, in furniture, cars and buildings, as well as on packaging and even in and on the human body. In this session, good overview on the concepts and key technologies for the flexible display and materials will be presented and also there will be good discussions on the key technologies enabling flexible display and materials.
