Printed electronics for digitalisation
Summary
Under the focus topic of Smart Living, companies, research institutes and experts will show how printed electronics is paving our way to a digitised and sustainable society. “Some of them have become indispensable in our everyday lives, others are just starting their triumph.” Ultra-thin flexible circuits, sensors, and other printed electronics components are essential, especially as digitalisation advances. The Portuguese materials research institute Centi, for example, will be showcasing garbage cans that are equipped with printed electronics to automatically detect the fill level. Meanwhile, in building technology, printed electronics enables reliable yet cost-effective touch control of devices as well as the large-scale integration of sensors in floors and walls. LOPEC 2025 thus offers all interested parties the ideal opportunity to find out about the potential and latest applications from the world of printed electronics in a compact format.
