Electronic process aims at cheaper and flexible parts

摘要

A team of researchers from Umea University (Umea, Sweden) have developed a new method for developing inexpensive electronic components. The researchers hope that with this simple method display screens will become flexible and solar cells cheap.rnAs shown in the figure, first, a thin film of an organic electronic material, called fullerene, is painted on a selected surface. Then the parts of the film are directly exposed to laser light. Thernthird step is to develop the whole film by rinsing it with a solution. And finally, a well-defined pattern emerges where the laser light hits the surface.
