Bio-Inspired Fabrication of Flexible Ceramics

by Naoto Shirahata SPIE Newsroom, accessed 7 Jul 2006 The microfabrication of optoelectronic components that are made of ceramic and attached to a mechanically flexible polymer sheet, has recently attracted attention. This is due to their varied practical applications including flexible flat panel and wearable displays, radio-frequency identification tags, and electronic papers. Such high-technology potential is attributed to polymers' distinctive properties such as flexibility, light weight, ease of design and coloring, and low cost. Read more
