Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) of electronic devices are currently undergoing significant changes. Followed by the trend of using smart phones for „everything“, nearly all electronic devices show significant changes in the user interface. In industries such as automotive, white goods or consumer electronics, the displays become touchscreens, the mechanical buttons become capacitive touch buttons and even gesture control is reality. This trend also includes significant change in the surfaces, as they are becoming seamless, large and more and more 3D shaped. Printed Silver and PEDOT based transparent conductive films enable this trend as they are flexible, with high conductivity and high optical performance. They can be integrated together with decoration to glass and plastic surfaces in flat, curved or 3D shapes. Besides the trends and the technology, also showcases of different industries such as automotive and white goods are presented, as well as the ideas how they will further develop along the roadmap.

Tomas Sluka, CEO & Co-Founder, Creal
For Augmented Reality to spread and reach common usage levels, the visual experience needs to be entirely healthy and natural for the user. This is why CREAL has developed a unique AR display that combines light field imagery with ordinary highly transparent ophthalmic lenses, providing a true-to-life depth perception for the human eye and a customizable prescription with the classical aesthetic look of the lenses. While almost all AR glasses providers today are lumbered with trade-offs between focal depth, image resolution, and lens aesthetic, CREAL’s newest display finally enables an AR visual experience that “has it all”. This talk with introduce how....

Karl Guttag, President, KGOnTech
The presentation will give a quick overview the common optical designs and display devices used in AR systems today including their advantages and disadvantages. The presentation will include a discussion of which optical designs and display devices work well together. The optics designs include large combiner (bug-eye), birdbath, freeform, diffractive waveguide, reflective waveguide, and holographic mirror. The display devices include LCOS, DLP, LCD, Micro-OLED, and MicroLED....

Wladimir Punt, European Business Manager Today's smart skin patches can incorporate a broad range of functions, employing hybrid printed electronics to enhance medical sensing capabilities and improve patient outcomes. Along with the enormous potential, though, there are also complex design challenges. The advance of electronics miniaturization is opening new frontiers in Medtech, including in the field of adhesive skin patches. In the past, a skin patch might contain a single wired sensor. But today’s smart skin patches incorporate a broader range of functions. Hybrid printed electronics permit a variety of electronic devices and noninvasive sensors to be affixed to a thin and flexible substrate, enabling designers to integrate sensors, microcontrollers, wireless connectivity and batteries into a capable, durable and connected device. Whether in a clinical or home setting, this enables far more comprehensive patient monitoring. Adding enhanced capabilities to lightweight and flexible skin patches allows patients to go about their day while they (or their healthcare provider) monitor vital signs or activity noninvasively. There is tremendous potential for this flexibility to improve patient monitoring and make it simpler, more comfortable and more accessible. The Evolving Need for Connected Medical Sensing The demand for mobile, connected and noninvasive medical sensing capabilities is growing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for hospitals and clinics to monitor patie...
