Abstract:Hybrid structural electronics (HSE) consists of printed electronics, conventional rigid electronics and load bearing supporting parts of a device (plastic, glass etc.). Extra-large area and flexible lighting elements with embedded light emitting diodes (LEDs) are an example of such applications. LEDs can be used e.g. as light sources to create smart surfaces for the architectural or automotive industry. Once the LEDs are embedded into the structure, they cannot be replaced. In order to make sustainable HSE pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
