Printed organic nonvolatile memory for skin-like large-area interfaces

In this work, we demonstrate organic random-access memory matrices by using the state-of-the-art printing technologies. The new type of memory is nonvolatile, flexible with a nondestructive read-out capability, and maintains a time-continuous current and/or voltage; these functionalities have not been simultaneously achieved even by silicon-based conventional memory. Furthermore, human- scale communication sheets were manufactured as the first demonstration utilizing large-area organic memories.
