About the Paper
"Thin-Film and Printed Batteries: On-Board Solutions for Low-Power Electronics" discusses the value propositions emerging from the thin-film and printed battery area. These interesting devices are relatively expensive when compared with conventional miniature batteries and so must find unique applications where their characteristics can overcome the price challenge. In this paper, we examine applications for these batteries in radio frequency identification (RFID) and smart packaging, sensors, medical and cosmetic devices, smartcards and access cards, and point-of-purchase displays. We also consider how printability on a flexible substrate could open up markets for batteries and look at performance and safety considerations.
