• Resumen

  • Reports on materials for electronics that can be printed that were developed by Beng Ong, a research fellow at Xerox Research Center of Canada in Mississauga, Ontario. Plastic electronics should not only be superinexpensive but far more flexible than silicon versions, which would make them great for applications like roll-up computer displays. Most ingredients for such devices that are printable as inks degrade rapidly in the presence of oxygen. At an April technical meeting, Beng Ong and his colleagues unveiled air-stable, printable substances that can be semiconductors, conductors and insulators--the three elements needed to print transistors. Xerox is working with Motorola to demonstrate circuit printing.
