E-skin Technology Turns Body Into Screen

Led by Professor Takao Someya and Dr. Tomoyuki Yokota, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo developed a high-quality film that produces electronic displays on the human skin.

The scientists developed a super thin and flexible protective film less than 2 micrometers thick, which can serve as electronic skin (e-skin) displays. Made with a material that looks like a plastic wrap, the film can be laid over actual skin anywhere in the body.

The e-skin has an air-stable and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, ideal for a wide range of biomedical applications.
