OPERA Vision Paper on Organic and Large Area Electronics
The overall objective of the Coordination Action OPERA is to strengthen the position of Europe as a leading force in organic electronics. More specifically, the OPERA project aims to create the conditions for the establishment of a number of competitiveness clusters in Europe. To address these issues, OPERA is working on these action lines:
- the development of a strategic framework maximising synergy and cooperation in the sector,
- the acceleration of technological progress and the development of commercial organic electronic applications,
- the creation of channels of exchange of ideas and people,
- the development of tools for stimulating entrepreneurship,
- the acceleration of the development of industry standards and enhancing the visibility of the field.
OPERA Vision Paper on Organic and Large Area Electronics
In this context, the OPERA project has set up a task force which has drafted a vision paper briefly outlining the opportunities and challenges in flexible, organic and large area electronics and making a set of recommendations on how to further strengthen the European position in this field.
The first draft of this vision paper was presented at the Organic and Large Area Electronics Stakeholders’ Meeting, held in Brussels on 18 November 2008, by the task force coordinator Karl Leo. Other task force members are Harri Kopola, Richard Friend, Thomas Geelhaar, Jaap Lombaers and Ed van den Kieboom.
