Next Generation View: Application of Electronic Skin

Prof. T. Someya (University of Tokyo, Japan) says, "Our skin display exhibits simple graphics with motion, because it is made from thin and soft materials, and can be deformed freely." Recently, scientists and researchers were on to keep interest to develop flexible artificial electronic skin (e-skin) with human-like sensory capabilities such as temperature, pressure, displacement, pulse, electrocardiograph or tactile sensing, etc. Ideally, e-skin is waterproof, stretchable, and demonstrates the self-healing capability of typical living tissues. The development of e-skins w as interconnected with various electronic devices and power modules that provide the desired functionality is actively being carried out by various research groups [ 1 ]. Even though this study on sensory functions of e-skin has remained achieved significant progress, the green energy supply for wearable electronics have remains a technical challenge. Indeed of a foldable and flexible electr...
