Organic Electronics World
Over the next few years the advent of cheap, flexible and disposable electronics will transform many consumer products and printed matter.
Whether utilising low-cost silicon or new organic semi-conductors, the possibilities are wide ranging:
- Disposable radio tags that reveal the location of individual items, cases or pallets in the supply chain which result in stores that are never out of stock, and automated checkouts;
- Clothing that can monitor our heartbeat or select the correct cycle when in the washing machine
- Pharmaceuticals that alert the patient when to take the next dose and record and download compliance history for physicians
- Radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged milk cartons equipped with self-
adjusting sell-by dates - Books, newspapers, magazines and posters containing printed colour advertising with moving images
- Mobile phones printed onto packaging.
We're already seeing some applications for printed and disposable electronics coming out of the laboratory and into the market. For instance thin, flexible displays and power sources that can be used in RFID labels for monitoring temperature abuse in the supply chain, or patches that can ensure cosmetics penetrate more deeply by administering tiny electric impulses to the skin.
