ThinFilm and PARC demo printable, organic CMOS circuit, inch us closer to an 'internet of things'

ThinFilm and PARC demo printable, organic CMOS circuit, inch us closer to an 'internet of things'

ThinFilm and the legendary PARC (of mouse and GUI fame) announced they have produced a working prototype of a printable circuit that incorporated organic, rewritable memory and transistors. The resulting integrated circuits are essentially CMOS "chips" that can be printed on large rolls at extremely low cost. The most obvious application of the technology is in NFC chips, but the small price and size could find the printable circuits turning up as everything from price tags to freshness sensors on food packaging.
