Flexible Electronics has been one of the fastest developing technologies in recent decades. The traditional path is electronic components such as silicon chips integrated onto flexible substrates called “hybrid integration” or “flexible hybrid electronics”. We believe that this approach is not a viable long-term solution for high-volume, low-cost and conformable integrated smart systems.
Our vision is an integrated smart system that is built with only flexible electronic components including analogue circuitry, digital logic and memories. We call such a system a “Natively Flexible Integrated Smart System” or NFISS. NFISSes will enable new products in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods and mass-market healthcare segments that have not been possible before because conventional silicon chips are too costly, too bulky and not conformable. This will be delivered with 100-1000x reduction in the environmental footprint.
