Abstract

An In-Mold Electronics (IME) device and method of manufacturing the IME device introduce a stretchable substrate laminated to a thermoplastic layer. The stretchable substrate has a screen printable surface for receiving printed conductive interconnects. This combination enables formation of an IME device with conductive interconnects oriented for hard to reach cavities and areas. The IME device eliminates the need to have additional mold features to enable deeper drawn cavities.
