“…[1][2][3][4][5] Such vision has begun to show concrete potential through a variety of proofof-concept demonstrations, among which are programmable logic circuitry for flexible displays, [6] transferrable electronics for pharmaceutics, [7] healthcare sensors for brainwave detection [8] or pulse oximetry, [9] fully printed washable electronics on fabrics, [10] and imperceptible logic circuitry on ultrathin substrates for intelligent electronic skin. This promise stemmed from the prospect of utilizing printing tools derived from well-established graphical arts technologies to deposit a variety of functional materials, which exhibit a suitable combination of mechanical and electronic properties.…”

Organic printed electronics are suitable for the development of wearable, lightweight, distributed applications in combination with cost‐effective production processes. Nonetheless, some necessary features for several envisioned disruptive mass‐produced products are still lacking: among these radio‐frequency (RF) communication capability, which requires high operational speed combined with low supply voltage in electronic devices processed on cheap plastic foils. Here, it is demonstrated that high‐frequency, low‐voltage, polymer field‐effect transistors can be fabricated on plastic with the sole use of a combination of scalable printing and digital laser‐based techniques. These devices reach an operational frequency in excess of 1 MHz at the challengingly low bias voltage of 2 V, and exceed 14 MHz operation at 7 V. In addition, when integrated into a rectifying circuit, they can provide a DC voltage at an input frequency of 13.56 MHz, opening the way for the implementation of RF devices and tags with cost‐effective production processes.
