“…These are systems that are typically required to cover relatively large areas; sense physical or chemical events; convert these stimuli to electrical signals; and condition them as close to the source as possible to avoid noise and minimize dependance on external electronics. All of this could be developed through well-established TFT technology (7).…”

“…This is an opportunity for large-area TFT and flexible IC manufacturers to collaborate on the development of high-density flexible arrays. These next-generation devices are envisioned to deliver in vivo electrophysiology implantable arrays, allowing monitoring of activity in the cerebral cortex (7). In addition to contributing to a better understanding of the human brain, these devices could play an important role in monitoring brain-related diseases or even the control of next-generation prosthetics and robots.…”

Natively flexible electronics allow for ultra‐thin functionality to be added to wearable, conformal large‐area sensing applications, reducing or eliminating the need for bulky rigid components and dramatically improving both form factor and cost of the final system. Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE), which combine flexible and rigid components, are increasingly used for sensing applications like health patches, industrial sensing, robotics, augmented and virtual reality, etc. Thin‐Film Transistor (TFT) display manufacturing technologies are well established and have been leading the drive for cost and form‐factor optimization. In this article, we review an intersection of these technologies for sensing applications, predicting the emergence of smart systems made up of only low cost natively flexible electronic components including printed sensors, flexible ICs, printed batteries, printed antennas, and flexible displays.
