PANL out of the loop? Nah, PANL has working products now and is focussed on OLEDs, while this is long-term basic research and is more general. The IBM researchers speculate that "this new growth technique could lead to a practical way to manufacture flexible transistors," but the experiment described involves using a molecular buffer layer to increase the grain size of organic crystals grown on a silicon wafer - not on a flexible substrate. If you can do organic transistors, then perhaps you can eliminate the silicon altogether and make an all-organic device. Philips, for one, is working on that. IBM makes no such claim here, but they do imply that a cheap, flexible device is the ultimate goal, though they are "still far from a commercial product."
