Description
Summary:The free-form thin film electronics invented to laminate onto the skin imperceptibly provide human skin with flexible electrical components for health and information technologies. As of now, the 3-D deformable thin film of hybrid ZnO-based nanostructures system proves to have the capability to interact with the human body. The expansion of the usage, specifically in electronic skin (e-skin) thin film ranging from wearable to e-textile, is tremendously progressing, besides the limitation to both the biocompatible power sources, high-resolution display and conformability with aesthetics design still exist. The recent trend for free-form display that can stretch and embed in textiles with crumple-ability for use in the realistic tactile sensation while maximising throughput and minimising cost is poised to change the way the interaction with e-skin devices is handled. The review also analyses the current state of the 3-D free-form displays based on hybrid ZnO thin film and scrutinises the technological challenges not only focusing on hybrid ZnO thin film but also other nanomaterials as well to accomplish the next generation of on-skin thin-film electronics.
