The command, printed on plastic with flexible electronics, is less than one millimetre thick, and shows the capacities and potential of printed electronics. Paul Lacharmoise, director of the Eurecat Functional Printing &amp; Embedded Devices Unit, received the awards.<\/p>\n<p>This technology enables the printing or stamping of flexible circuits on just about any kind of surface, much thinner than traditional circuits. It is based on the printing of electronic devices and components by means of conventional printing techniques such as silk-screen or digital, with ink similar in the latter case to that used in home printers.<\/p>\n<p>Cristina Casellas, the technology promoter of the Eurecat Functional Printing &amp; Embedded Devices Unit, says that this technique enables the \u201cbroadening of the electronic product range\u201d with a \u201cvery low production cost\u201d. Casellas pointed out that printed and functional electronics \u201chas managed to reduce manufacturing costs by 30%\u201d thanks to \u201cflexible, easy-to-include and personalized\u201d electronics, which can be used in a great amount of products, such as wearables, smart labelling, clothes, household furniture and vehicle upholstery.<\/p>\n<p>As Casellas said, Functional Printing enables the manufacturing of \u201csportswear with movement sensors\u201d, tables and chairs with \u201cintegrated domotics control\u201d and \u201cbackpacks with indicators\u201d to improve safety for cyclists, among other applications. The researcher explained that flexible electronics \u201ccan eliminate remote commands and reduce the size of what are now six-millimetre buttons to less than half a millimetre\u201d. \u201cWe are currently integrating sensorics in objects that do not have it as of today, and this could revolutionize numerous industries\u201d, she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this demonstration, Eurecat-CTM also took the <a href=\"http:\/\/optintegral.eu\/\"><strong>Optintegral<\/strong><\/a> project to Munich, involving the development of new hybrid processes for the production of LED monitors. The project combines electronic and functional printing and inorganic LEDs to achieve innovative monitors with greater energy efficiency. The project, coordinated by Eurecat-CTM, enables the implantation of high energy efficiency technology at a low cost, and forms part of the Horizon 2020 programme, with financing from the European Commission for the development of sustainable energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main printed electronics fair in Europe awards prize to Eurecat technology Concept of printed
