February 13, 2014, Berkeley EECS Annual Research Symposium, UC-Berkeley, CA—Ana Arias presented work on flexible electronics that can change forms and shapes to provide different measurements for health, medicine, and imaging. These platforms will use other substrates than standard semiconductors, but may be hybrid integration of organic and silicon circuits. Flexible circuits usually are processed…
November 20, 2013, Printed Electronics Show, Santa Clara, CA—Mike Lu from Acuity presented commentary on OLED for lighting and the prospects for growth in this area. OLED lighting is poised for growth, since the devices allow more degrees of freedom in lighting fixture design. The technology world is making printed synonymous with organic, since the…
December 1,2011, Printed Electronics USA 2011, Santa Clara, CA—Warren Jackson from HP talked about fabricating large area metal oxide thin film transistors (MOTFT) using roll-to-roll imprint lithography. These developments can be applied to many areas including displays, packaging, and civil and military functions. MOTFTs offer many advantages over amorphous silicon and poly-silicon. A-Si has low…
