It is expected that printed organic electronics will open a new market of low-cost electronic applications. It will exist besides the already established market for conventional and more expensive Si-based technology. Methods of mass production will enable high volumes of new products like smart labels or printed RFIDTransponders. The feasibility of printed electronics is proven with hybrid multi-bit RFID-Transponder fabricated in a clean room. Further completely printed prototypes without individual ID codes are presented. Consequently, low-cost electronics can be massproduced with printing methods at high volume as well as low cost.
