Abstract

Printed electronics (PEs), as a fast-growing advanced manufacturing technology in recent years, plays an essential role in development of wearable electronic sensors, flexible displays, human-machine interaction, and thin electronics owing to its low cost, high throughput, and the possibility to be fabricated on diverse thin substrates with good flexibility and stretchability. Various PEs have been developed, such as physical sensing devices, electrochemical sensors, wearable supercapacitors and energy harvesters, stretchable electrodes, thin-film transistors (TFTs), and printed transceiving circuits. In this work, recent progress on physical sensing devices and their interface circuits developed by the printing process are reviewed in terms of their functions, printing methods, materials, and performance. The printed physical sensors used for monitoring the basic biometric parameters through physical sensing mechanisms, such as temperature sensors for skin temperature, pressure sensors for human pulse wave, strain sensors for human motions, biopotential electrodes for electrocardiogram signals, and multiple-function physical sensing platforms, have been studied and highlighted with their good designs and advanced materials. The state-of-the-art printed interface circuits for the wearable sensors such as interconnects, TFTs, digital circuits, amplifiers, oscillators, and antennas have been reviewed in terms of their structures and functions from basic to advanced levels. The challenge and suggestions of the printed wearable devices for future developments are discussed and end with a conclusion.
