Abstract (AI)
Thin-film electronics in its myriad forms has underpinned much of the technological innovation in the fields of displays, sensors, and energy conversion over the past four decades. This technology also forms the basis of flexible electronics. Here we review the current status of flexible electronics and attempt to predict the future promise of these pervading technologies in healthcare, environmental monitoring, displays and human-machine interactivity, energy conversion, management and storage, and communication and wireless networks.
Key Findings
1
Flexible electronics builds on thin-film electronics and is reviewed as a platform with broad potential across multiple technology domains.
2
Flexible electronics is projected to support healthcare and environmental monitoring applications through pervasive sensing technologies.
3
Future applications include flexible displays, human–machine interactivity, energy conversion and storage, and communication and wireless networks.
4
Thin-film electronics has enabled major innovations in displays, sensors, and energy conversion over the past four decades.
