Class Expectations
Flexible
electronics holds the promise of transformative
developments in: (1) flat panel lighting (low cost, low
energy), (2) energy production systems (solar) and 3)
infrastructure control and monitoring (sensing, energy
control, hazard monitoring). Practical realization of
flexible circuits will require dramatic progress in new
materials that are compatible with flexible media and
amenable to facile and low temperature processing as well
as major advances in manufacturing technologies such as
roll-to-roll processing. This course will discuss these and
other developments.
There will be problem sets approximately every
two weeks.
There will be a class prelim.
There is NO FINAL, but there is a term paper due during
study week. The topic will be selected in conjunction with
the course instructor.
