Stand-alone Smart Sensor Label: Thin Film Electronics ASA announced today successfully demonstration: stakes and opportunities.

Following the low-voltage complementary logic announced in June 2013, today Thin Film Electronics ASA announced that, it has successfully demonstrated its first fully functional, stand-alone Smart Sensor Label.

Connectikpeople can observe that the temperature-tracking label, designed for

monitoring of perishable goods, demonstrates a complete closed system built from printed and organic electronics.

According to Thin Film Electronics ASA, Thinfilm’s Smart Label will help pharmaceutical companies keep temperature-sensitive products safe and effective, while preventing the unnecessary destruction of usable products.

The system announced today is billed as the first demonstration of a stand-alone, integrated printed electronic system powered solely by batteries. According to Christer Karlsson, Thinfilm CTO, “A key breakthrough for this demo was the low-voltage complementary logic announced in June 2013.

In the system demonstrated today, organic logic detects that a critical temperature threshold has been exceeded and signals the display driver to turn on a segmented display.
