Title: World’s First Flexible Microprocessor Made With Organic Semiconductors
Post by: whitetop on February 26, 2011, 06:52:38 AM: (https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg812.imageshack.us%2Fimg812%2F9699%2Ffileepaperflexible.jpg&hash=46d4a643ceafc9e5ff28bb7c9040db32090a91e1)

International Solid-State Circuits Conference, European researchers showed off the world’s first flexible microprocessor made with organic semiconductors. Right now, processing power is similar to what was found in the 1970′s, but the advantage is that the processor is flexible. What’s so good about the research is that it can lead to fully bendable displays and sensors; something we could begin to see in clothing, gadgets and biomedical applications.Scientists have not been able to achieve an organic microprocessor till now because of how difficult it is to make organic transistors all have a consistent switch-on threshold. The Belgian research team behind the successful organic chip had to build an extra gate for controlling the electric field in the semiconductor to avoid accidental switching. The featured organic chip contains 4000 transistors compared to the hundreds of millions found in today’s silicon chips.
An example of this would be when shopping for a pair of pants, you could use your smartphone to communicate directly with the organic chip inside the garment. The data communicated could let you virtually try on the pants by telling you whether or not it would fit your entered measurements.

And it looks like the person finished cutting it with the paper cutter in the background. LOL
DATS WICKED TECH, thx for the News. I need to write something.
