The goal of this workshop on Flexible Electronics is to assess the state-of-the-art in terms of materials, devices, and systems in this area. The objective is to identify what are the new areas of research that hold most promise and what research issues need to be addressed so as to advance these research areas in flexible electronics. Intellectual Merit: The first commercial products were based on photo-conductive films, a business now with annual sales in the multi-billion dollar range. Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and displays based on light emitting diodes have been introduced to the market and a large expansion in market penetration has been forecast in the next decade. One of the next key areas is going to be solid state lighting based on OLEDs. Similarly, organic and flexible electronics offers significant opportunities related to biomedical devices and systems that can help the total cost of health care. This includes biomedical sensors, actuators, systems in a foil, and systems for patient care and monitoring. Transistors have also been successfully integrated with display elements such as LEDs and electrophoretic cells and used as chemical and biological sensors. Another area of interest is organic solar cells with power conversion efficiencies more than 6% have been reported. As the field has evolved in the past few years, inorganic materials are being increasingly used either singly or together with organic/polymer materials, and it is more appropriate to speak of hybrid electronics. Despite this impressive set of advances, it is clear that more research needs to be done. The chief objective of the workshop is to help define the future of the field. This will be done by having a series of experts give talks on key subjects and also by encouraging debate and discussion amongst all participants in a series of panels. The proceedings of the workshop will be a set of reports and discussion summaries by group leaders.Broader Impact: The workshop will also have an impact on research and development in the area of flexible electronics. This is an area of research in which the United States is currently outspent by about 3:1 by funding agencies in Europe. the WTEC study (led by the PI) has assessed the state of this field in Europe. In this workshop, opportunities in this area for researchers and industry in the US will be identified. The workshop will also assess the needs for graduate and undergraduate education aspects related to this area. A large number of universities offer courses in the general area of organic semiconductors, and the workshop will help define directions in this area as well as in retraining high technology workers for careers in the organic and hybrid organic/inorganic semiconductor fields. The workshop will also address issues of US competitiveness in the field of flexible hybrid electronics vis- -vis Europe and Asia and how this can be improved.

该研讨会关于灵活电子设备的研讨会是在该领域的材料，设备和系统方面评估最新的。目的是确定哪些新的研究领域具有最大的希望以及需要解决哪些研究问题，以推动这些研究领域的灵活电子产品。 知识分子优点：第一批商业产品是基于照片导电胶片，该公司现在的年销售额为数十亿美元。有机光发射二极管（OLED）和基于发射光二极管的显示器已被引入市场，并且在未来十年中预计，已经预测了市场渗透率的大量扩展。下一个关键领域之一将是基于OLED的固态照明。同样，有机和灵活的电子设备提供了与生物医学设备和系统有关的重要机会，可以帮助总体保健成本。这包括生物医学传感器，执行器，箔中的系统以及用于患者护理和监测的系统。晶体管也已成功地与显示元素（如LED和电泳细胞）进行了整合，并用作化学和生物传感器。感兴趣的另一个领域是有机太阳能电池的功率转化效率超过6％。随着过去几年的发展，无机材料越来越多地或与有机/聚合物材料一起使用，并且更适合谈到混合电子产品。尽管有一系列令人印象深刻的进步，但很明显，需要进行更多的研究。研讨会的主要目标是帮助定义该领域的未来。这将通过一系列专家就关键主题进行谈判，并鼓励所有参与者之间的辩论和讨论来完成。研讨会的会议记录将是小组负责人的一系列报告和讨论摘要。BroaderImpact：研讨会还将对灵活电子领域的研发产生影响。这是一个研究领域，在欧洲的资助机构中，美国目前大约比3：1远远超过3：1。 WTEC研究（由PI领导）评估了欧洲该领域的状态。在这个研讨会上，将确定该领域的研究人员和行业的机会。研讨会还将评估与该领域有关的研究生和本科教育方面的需求。许多大学提供有机半导体一般领域的课程，研讨会将有助于定义该领域的方向，以及在有机和混合有机/无机半导体领域的职业中培训高科技工作者。该研讨会还将解决美国在欧洲和亚洲的灵活混合电子产品领域的竞争力问题，以及如何改善这一点。
