Recent advances in applications of organic integrated circuits for large-area electronics

In this paper, we present recent advances of organic transistors and their applications to two kinds of large-area sensors, namely electronic artificial skins and sheet image scanners. Organic transistor integrated circuits are attracting much attention since they are expected to be complementary to the high-performance yet expensive silicon VLSI's. There are many attributes of organic transistors, which can't be easily achieved by silicon-based conventional electronics.
