Flexible Electronics: What can it do? What should it do?

The development of low temperature, thin film transistor processes that has enabled flexible displays also presents opportunities for flexible electronics. A variety of flexible digital and analog electronics have been demonstrated, although typically of modest performance. We review the state-of-th...

Description
Summary:The development of low temperature, thin film transistor processes that has enabled flexible displays also presents opportunities for flexible electronics. A variety of flexible digital and analog electronics have been demonstrated, although typically of modest performance. We review the state-of-the-art in flexible electronics followed by a discussion of the constraints, remaining challenges and realistic potential applications of thin film transistors and flexible integrated systems.
