Abstract:

Over the last few decades, advancements in flexible electronics have spread across an expansive area ranging from the development of fundamental transistors, different kinds of sensing devices, and flexible organic light-emitting diode displays in various kinds of flexible substrates. This academic interest in flexible electronics will continue for some years, which is driven by the growing demand for electronics permitting lightweight design, portability, and low manufacturing cost as compared to their rigid substrate counterparts, and supported by techniques for the ceaseless miniaturization of individual elements in microelectronics. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the most recent progress of flexible sensors designed in our group. We will first introduce our work on design and fabrication of single functional sensors including flexible photodetectors, pressure sensors, and then the multifunctional sensing systems, consisting of flexible sensors and flexible energy units, will be discussed.
