Transient electronics that can disintegrate on demand could help stem the rising tide of electronic waste, but their performance is often inferior to conventional devices. Advances in electronics over the decades have led to explosive growth in their use, with global sales of consumer electronics reaching more than $1 trillion in 2019.

Additionally, many chemicals relied upon for transportation (such as oils and lubricants) as well as other commodity chemicals and polymer precursors are, and will likely remain, carbon-based. By 2027, demonstrate at least one biofuel and bioproduct production strategy that reduces capital cost by 30% from 2012 cellulosic ethanol baseline.

Samsung first announced QD-OLED plans in 2019, then pushed out the release date a few times. It now seems likely that we will see public demos in early 2022 followed by commercial products later in the year, once the company has geared up for high-volume production. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not that much.
