Abstract

We have successfully manufactured a large-area power transmission sheet by using printing technologies. The position of electronic objects on this sheet can be contactlessly sensed by electromagnetic coupling using an organic transistor active matrix. Power is selectively fed to the objects by an electromagnetic field using a plastic MEMS-switching matrix
