Abstract
The printed electronics (PE) become a key enabling technology for fabricating electronic circuits and systems with significantly low cost and therefore emerge as a disruptive technology, with rapid market growth expected in near future. Korean companies and research organizations recognize the importance and market potential of the printing technology, especially in the semiconductor and display industries that are vital growth engines of Korean economy. Thus, the printed electronics become a rapidly growing research area in Korea. Here, I will present an overview of research, development, and commercialization of PE technologies in Korea. And I will address the challenges and opportunities facing the Korean PE industry and introduce major R&D programs to advance the PE technology.
