Abstract

The direct deposit of photoelectric materials onto low-cost prefabricated patterned flexible electrodes provided by the present invention introduces a new design approach that permits the development of innovative lightweight, durable and non-planar sensing systems. By extending single and multi-spectral bioelectronic sensing technology to flexible plastic substrates, the invention offers a number of potential advantages over structurally rigid silicon-based microelectronics (e.g. CMOS) including a reduction in spatial requirements, weight, electrical power consumption, heat loss, system complexity, and fabrication cost.
