Applications of printed electronics

Printed electronics encompasses a wide range of devices and components in a variety of applications.

Below we present the 6 most important applications of printed electronics:

1. integrated circuits

2. storage media

3. LED

4. solar cells

5. medical technology

6. sensors

Integrated circuit

One of the most common applications of printed electronics is integrated circuits. These can include various components, such as complementary inverters that can change the direction of current flow within the device.

Storage medium

Films for printed electronics can also be integrated into various storage media, for example, to store documents or files. These are typically used on computers and laptops, as well as smaller devices such as smartphones and cameras.

LED

Light-emitting diodes are semiconductors that emit light when current flows through them. These are used for illumination. They are often referred to as LED light sources. Printed materials can be used for the circuits of these systems.

Solar Battery

A solar cell is a device that converts light into photovoltaic energy. These are commonly used in photovoltaic solar cells as well as solar lamps and other devices that run on this energy source. Printed electronics can also be used for their components.

Medical technology

Finally, printed electronic films are commonly used in wearable electronics, such as sensing cells in medical technology. Because these materials are flexible, they are particularly suitable for devices that need to be adapted to different carriers or used directly on the skin. The ability to conduct electrical current to a specific circuit within a device.

Sensors

There is a need to retrofit sensor technology in many areas of industry and homes. There are many changes ahead in the IoT field. Printed electronics on films makes it possible here to produce solutions for diverse applications in a very small space.

We supply various technical films for printed electronics. In our article "Printed electronics on foils" we show the most commonly used foils.
