Abstract :
An innovative technology for the mass production of stretchable printed circuit boards (SCBs) will be presented in this paper. This technology makes it possible for the first time to really integrate fine pitch, high performance electronic circuits easily into textiles and so may be the building block for a totally new generation of wearable electronic systems. An overview of the technology will be given and subsequently a real system using SCB technology is presented.
