Printed electornic revolution

Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Printed electronics is a set of printing methods used to create electrically functional devices. Paper has been often proposed to be used as substrate but due the rough surface and high humidity absorption other materials such as plastic, ceramics and silicon has been applied more widely. Instead of printing graphic arts inks, families of electrically functional electronic or optical inks are used to print active or passive devices, such as thin film transistors or resistors. Due to progress in technology the cheeper and more ecological printed electronics fully replaced common electonic in Europe. The EU became world leading producer on this field.
