 Electronic skin is defined as set of multiple electronic
and sensing components such as touch and temperature
sensors , displays , energy scvengers and electronics Etc
integrated on a flexible or bendable substrates.
 E-Skin working principle
 The core technology of the
sensor material is a vast
network of semiconductor
nanowires.

 Change in material thickness is

electrically measured through
transistors and capacitors.
 Temperature sensors are used for
measuring the temperature

 Strain gauges are used for measuring

the signals generated by the heart.

 Antenna is used for transmitting the recorded signals of the skin to

the receiver.
Printing of active/passive Electronic and sensing components.

 In this case sensors are directly printed on flexible substrate.

 Integration of graphene into skin like electronic device find applications

ranging from new generation temp/pressure sensors.
 APPLICATIONS

 The E-Skin Sensors Can Be Fixed to the Skin

Like Temporary Tattoos

 Health monitoring(EEG,ECG)

 In the field of robotics.

TRADITIONAL APPROACH
 ADVANTAGES
 Reduses wires

 Compact in size , less in weight

 The device is flexible

 DISADVANTAGES
 Cost is high

 Single use
 FUTURE SCOPE

 In future even virtual screens may be placed on the device

to know our body functions.
