Printed electronics professionals prepare for the tailor-made event

Until now, if you want to print a greeting card for a loved one, you can use colorful graphics, fancytypefaces or special paper to enhance it. But what if you could integrate paper-thin displays into the cards, which could be printed at home and which would be able to depict self-created symbols or even react to touch? Those only some of the options computer scientists in Saarbrücken can offer. They developed an approach that in the future will enable laypeople to print displays in any desired shape on various materials and therefore could change everyday life completely.
