Flexible electronics advance boosts performance, manufacturing

Flexible electronics made with organic, or carbon-based, transistors could enable technologies such as low-cost sensors on product packaging and ''electronic paper'' displays as thin and floppy as a placemat. But the best mass-producible organic transistors so far have only milquetoast performance, and products using them have yet to come to market. In a study published in the Dec. 14 issue of the journal Nature, researchers at Stanford and the University of California-Los Angeles point the way toward manufacturing truly useful flexible electronics with high-performance organic transistors.
