Flexible electronics: novel substrates and transducers

• Author / Creator

  Meng, Lingju

• Flexible electronics integrate functional electronic devices on paper and plastic substrates and fill niches complementary to silicon electronics in applications where bending and stretching of devices are required or preferred. Yet, most flexible devices are still more or less facing performance and cost issues. Here, in this thesis, I focused on solving these problems by applying novel substrates and introducing new working mechanisms of transducers which can be categorized
  into 4 sub-projects in 4 chapters.
