Symposium EL14-Flexible and Stretchable Optoelectronics and Circuits for Emerging Wearable Electronics

Wearable electronics have emerged as a paramount platform for monitoring human health. These devices must establish a close and comfortable connection with the human skin while exhibiting mechanical flexibility and stretchability to endure the mechanical stress experienced during everyday use. In this context, the development of flexible and stretchable optoelectronics is imperative, encompassing components like stretchable light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, and photodetectors, all designed to maintain functionality under mechanical strain. However, overcoming the trade-off between stretchability and device efficiency remains a significant challenge for all electronic devices. This symposium aims to delve into the cutting-edge realm of flexible and stretchable optoelectronics, with the overarching goal of advancing wearable electronics. The proposed symposium will cover a broad spectrum of topics, from the fundamental mechanisms underpinning the design of stretchable materials to their real-world applications. Our discussions will encompass, flexible displays, emerging materials for wearable optoelectronics, three-dimensional microfabrication, printed optoelectronics, stretchable integrated circuits, bio-integrated optoelectronics, user-interactive displays. Through this comprehensive exploration, we aim to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights, ultimately propelling the field of flexible and stretchable optoelectronics forward and promising transformative contributions to wearable electronics.

Topics will include:

Flexible, foldable, rollable and stretchable display
Emerging materials for wearable optoelectornics
Three-dimensional microfabrication
Printed optoelectronics
Stretchable integrated circuits
Bio-integrated optotelectornics
Sensors and actuators for integrated display
User interactive display
Encapsulations for flexible and stretchable electronics
