Invisible Electronics for Packaging Applications

However, as MAN Roland pointed out, printed electronics inside packaging is about more that hidden circuits. It involves promotion and entertainment. Lights and images, even games can be revealed when a package is touched or otherwise activated. One developer had paper that comes alive with moving images when you breathe on it and all agreed that printed electronics is a cornucopia for innovative design - indeed two artists gave presentations and demonstrations that were very well attended and rated. They revealed many things from animated wallpaper with growing, light emitting images, to the prayer mat that lights up when accurately oriented towards Mecca. These exist today. Another delightful idea was the paper box alarm clock you can screw up and throw, with satisfaction, into the trash bin when it wakes you. However, these new printed devices are so rugged, it may continue to ring!
