The tablets and phablets have taken the control of the gizmo market worldwide. Everyone is planning to buy or has bought one already. The huge displays of these devices seem definitely attractive but many times users complain about the problem of carrying them around. They don\u2019t fit inside your pockets and you cannot always stash them inside your bag. Well, the simple solution to such problems is almost round the corner \u2013 the flexible tablets, laptops, PCs and smart phones, which you will be able to fold into the size of a matchbox. Thanks to flexible electronics, we now can look forward to getting such tech gadgets in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is exactly the Flexible Electronics?<\/b><\/p>\n

The application of flexible electronics is based on the flexibility of the electrical circuits used in electronic devices. The electronic devices we use have hard and inflexible electronic circuits. Flexible electronics will help us affix electronic circuits on plastic substrates, which are flexible and bends easily. This type of electronic circuits can also be screen printed on flexible materials. Enrique Gomez, who is an assistant professor at Penn State University and currently researching on flexible electronics, believes that this technological innovation will completely change the way we build tech devices and perceive them.<\/p>\n

When did the idea of flexible electronics originate?<\/b><\/p>

\n\"Dr<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

The origination of this surprisingly new technology can be traced back to the 1940s. It was probably Dr. Ken Gileo who first thought about the flexible circuits. Thomas Edison had also thought and sketched some plans for making flexible circuits with the help of graphite powder and cellulose gum. In the 1950s the Sanders Associates\u2019 Royden sanders and Victor Dahlgren enthusiastically tried to patent a technique of printing flat conductors on flexible surfaces.<\/p>\n
