PE USA 2012

Over the last 10 years PARC had been building up a library of printed electronics devices, among these a number of digital logic circuits. The performance and complexity of these device has been gradually improving, due to advances in material science, process optimization, and in particular developments in design.

The presentation will describe the challenges and the unique approaches taken to design and build printed circuits, such as complementary logic gates, control of performance variations, and circuits adopted to the specifics of organic transistors. Some of these logic functionalities are now being explored to drive or interface the operation of printed sensor systems.
