2019 Flex Korea: Flexible Hybrid Innovations and Opportunities
May 21, 2019 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
More than 200 industry experts and thought leaders from academia will gather June 19-20 at 2019 FLEX Korea for critical insights into the latest flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) technologies and market opportunities. Hosted by FlexTech, a SEMI Strategic Association Partner, 2019 FLEX Korea showcases wearables, foldable displays, sensors, flexible batteries, materials and other core FHE technologies and applications at the COEX Convention & Exhibition Center. Registration for the event is open.
The flexible and printed electronics markets are expected to reach $20 billion by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% from 2016 to 2022, according to Zion Research. Flexible hybrid electronics and printed electronics enable new form factors and economics for a diverse and often disruptive set of applications.
Highlighting the June 20 technical conference are three keynotes offering insights into technology drivers for flexibleelectronics and wearables:
- Michael McCreary, E Ink—Expanding the Horizon of Flexible Reflective Displays
- Jerry Kang, IHS Markit—Global Industry Trend & Market Forecast of Flexible (Foldable, Rollable) Display
- David Burch, U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)—Wearables for State Assessment of Military Operators
2019 FLEX Korea will feature three sessions with 10 technology experts addressing three critical FHE areas:
- Disruptive Technologies
- Core Technologies Enabling Flexible Electronics
- SMART Devices
The event will also feature two short courses providing a comprehensive overview of inkjet technology and micro LED displays.
An early-bird pre-registration discount is available to SEMI members until June 14. For more information, visit FLEX Korea 2019.
