If you are part of the body may be your computer, the screen with your arm, or even directly link to your brain?

Artificial skin electronic one day make it is a possibility. Researchers are developing can be directly applied to the skin elasticity, flexible, and even can stretch electronic circuit. In addition to your skin into a touch screen, it can also help to replace the feeling, if you have been burned or problem, your nervous system.

The simplest version of this technology is essentially an electronic tattoo. In 2004, researchers in the United States and Japan released from can be applied to the forearm pre-stretching thinned silicon pressure sensor circuit with form. But inorganic materials such as silicon is rigid, skin is soft and elastic. Therefore, researchers are looking into the organic material (usually in the form of special plastic or conductive carbon, such as graphene), for the skin is made on the basis of electronic circuits.

Typical electronic skin by different parts of the matrix - flexible transistor, organic light-emitting diodes, sensors and organic photovoltaic (solar) cells - by scaling or flexible wires connected to each other. These devices are usually built

From the material very thin layer is sprayed or evaporates into a flexible substrate, produced in the skin of big (up to tens of centimeters 2) electronic circuit.

Most of the effort, in the past few years to create this technology has been robot and give machine sensor function badly. We now have electronic equipment, skin can detect near objects and measuring temperature and pressure. These can help the robot through know more about their surroundings (and possible ways to get anyone to) work safer. If, however, with wearable technology integration, human beings, they can do testing, in the process of the movement, for example, harmful to human body.

The technology also led to the flexible screen, with at least one company hopes that the use of sensor skin to touch screen and a mini projector, rather than a display. One day we will set up the technology directly into our bodies, and how is going to be together? With the organic electronic problem is that they are not very reliable, relatively poor and give the electronic performance. Just like real skin, development up to now, finally, the development of electronic skin wrinkles. This leads to the layer of segregated and circuit fault. Plus, more confusion in organic material atoms organization than the inorganic materials used to make traditional electronics. This means that the mobile is 1000 times slower organic material, therefore, made from their equipment will be much slower operation, also won't and thermal circuit to generate processing as well.
