| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Following the successful development and fabrication of world’s thinnest organic electronics e-skin, fit with organic transistors and tactile sensors, the research progressed towards expanding it with the aim of achieving system’s integration at the unprecedented thickness and flexibility. Specifically, organic electronic CMOS and Pseudo-CMOS inverters / amplifiers were demonstrated. To fit with the ultra-thin electronics, matching ultra-thin biomarker sensors were developed and integrated. The system was shown to successfully detect electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG). The two main advantages of these ultrathin sensors, as compared to today’s commercial counterparts, is their imperceptibleness as well as motion-artefact-free operation.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The progress of the current research was delayed by the discovery of the motion-artefact-free operation of the sensors. Initially the goal was to develop a simple biometric sensor. However, the sensor showed a great promise, which needed to be investigated. And it is these investigations that resulted in delay of the overall progress. The result should be another journal publication.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the remaining six months of the JSPS fellowship, the goal is to integrate the developed ultra-thin biometric sensors with ultrathin electronics, for the purposes of on-skin detection and amplification of the EMG. This will require development and fabrication, using thin-film organic electronics differential amplifier integrated with sensor.
