Printed electronics is a technology that involves creating electronic components using printing techniques. This process allows for the production of flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective devices. Common materials used in printed electronics include conductive inks, which can be printed on various substrates like paper, plastic, or fabric. Applications of printed electronics range from simple items like printed circuit boards to more complex devices such as sensors and displays. This technology is increasingly used in industries like wearable technology, smart packaging, and healthcare, enabling innovative solutions that were not possible with traditional manufacturing methods.
