TNO at Holst Centre (Eindhoven, The Netherlands), Solliance and TU/e worked together in the development of a thin and flexible scanner for fingerprints. Low-resolution image-sensor arrays have been demonstrated in the past, but the step toward high-resolution, high pixel-count image sensors suitable for commercial applications has been lacking to date. Gerwin Gelinck and Albert van Breemen took the flexible fingerprint scanner to the next level, and now have an article published on this subject in the current edition of Nature Electronics.
