“Optogenerapy’s printed electronics prove the potential of this technology for improving patient’s quality of life”

by Optogenerapy News
in Interview
Comments

Whenever we think of electronics, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) full of conductive tracks and pads of laminated copper comes to our mind. The possibilities of electronics have been multiplied with printed electronics, a new technology that allows building electronics circuits using conventional printing techniques in a diverse set of materials, and provides extra functionalities to the surfaces and allows thinner, lighter and more adaptable...
