August 2014 • The PCB Magazine 29 Numerous Products Already Available Numerous products including hybrid systems are already on the market in large numbers: Printed sensors, which when combined with silicon electronics, can mea- sure temperature or glucose; touch screens and surfaces that consist of a printed capacitive sensor ar- ray and silicon electronics; hybrid systems that may improve smart packaging. One example is an il- luminated cardboard box package that combines printed electrolu- minescence with a silicon driver chip. Other examples include: RFID tags with printed antennae and Si chips; seat recognition for figure 2: example of a hybrid system: printed pressure sensors on flexible substrates combined with si chip.
