New Technique Prints Flexible Circuits on Curved Surfaces

Caption

NC State tesearchers have demonstrated a new technique for directly printing electronic circuits onto curved and corrugated surfaces. The work paves the way for a variety of new soft electronic technologies, and researchers have used the technique to create prototype “smart” contact lenses, pressure-sensitive latex gloves, and transparent electrodes. This image shows six of the prototypes created using the new printing technique.
