Abstract :
We will report our recent research activities to apply ultraflexible and stretchable electronic systems for biomedical applications. First, we describe recent progress of ultraflexible organic devices such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that are manufactured on ultrathin plastic film with the thickness of 1 μm. Then these ultraflexible organic devices were utilized to fabricate and other wearable and implantable electronic systems including 64-channel surface electromyogram measurement sheets.
