FlexEnable, a leading developer of flexible organic electronics based in Cambridge, UK, and the French company ISORG, specialised in organic photodetectors and large-area image sensors, have presented the world’s first large-area flexible fingerprint sensor on plastic designed for biometric applications. With an 8.6 cm x 8.6 cm active area, 84µm pitch (78µm pixel size with 6µm spacing) and 1024 x 1024 = 1048576 pixel resolution, this flexible sensor is only 0.3 mm thick and can operate in visible and near infra-red up to wavelengths of 900nm.
“Printing as an integral part of the production process” will be the main theme of the technical presentations during the third Advanced Functional and Industrial Printing (AFIP) conference, organised by the European Association for Printing Manufacturers in screen and digital printing (ESMA) on 2-3 March 2016 at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany.
