Cheapest Possible Electronics Soon

A research team incorporating members from UK and US have created a conductive plastic that will help usher in cheap electronics.

Simply by tweaking the structure of a regular organic polymer a 'semi-conducting polythiopene' is created. This can be laid down using simple inkjet printing techniques with lesser waste. A big improvement over silicon.

The transistors printed from these devices are six times faster than any polymer transistors previously reported .

Initial applications will be in simple, disposable electronic items, followed by small reflective displays for PDAs or e-paper.

So once this research is completed buying an electronic product will be easy and simple .
