Murata stretchable electronics can enable sensing or treatment functionality on body surfaces where existing electronics cannot be used and avoid risk of damage to skin due to soft and stretchable materials. Murata offers customized design and manufacturing support tailored to specific medical applications
Overview
Murata Manufacturing is a comprehensive multinational electronics technology developer and manufacturer that creates cutting-edge technologies and components. Under the slogan Innovator in Electronics, we contribute to a flourishing society.
As the next step in substrate development, stretchable electronics not only offer flexibility but also the ability to stretch and deform without compromising functionality.
Murata’s SPC technology offers significant advantages over traditional methods and materials for patient monitoring; its soft and light materials enable new use cases and improved patient safety and comfort.
Combining accurate multi-layer printing and mounting technology, a wide range of sensing functionality like optical, temperate and motion sensing can be tailored to specific device designs that are robust to challenging environmental conditions and noise.
The scope of the technology includes substrate, electronic infrastructure, functional components, protective outer later and connection to other substrates.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how Murata stretchable electronics can enable monitoring or treatment devices on body surfaces where traditional flexible electronics are not possible to use
- Consider the use of these stretchable electronics in high voltage and high humidity environments, typically a weak point of stretchable electronics
- Explore how Murata’s stretchable electronics technology enables both multi-layer printing and mounting SMD components on the same substrate, as well as connection to other substrates for seamless integration
