Organic electronic applications are now poised to enter the commercial phase, in part driven by the progress

in the performance of the organic semiconducting component in field effect transistors which enable the

technology. Applications ranging in complexity from simple electronic gadgets to flexible driving backplanes for displays and beyond to item-level radiofrequency identification tags have all been designed

and are now on the verge of appearing in commercial electronic products. For example, low-resolution,

conformable electrophoretic displays or e-paper, driven by an organic field effect transistor (OFET) switching backplane, are a potentially exciting market entry product. A small, foldable display for a portable

application is already now reaching the market.
