Electronic Skin Later Provide Biometric Data

The research team of University of Tokyo said the future of human skin could be prepared to store biometric data. In an article in the journal Science Advances mention that a layer of "ultra-thin, ultra-bending" being developed will serve as blood oxygen levels.

In fact, the heart rate is displayed electronically via light emitting diodes will be installed in the e-skin. Where e-skin thickness of only two micrometers, and consists of a layer of silicon oxynitride and parylene.

According to the research team, as quoted by VOA Indonesia, special electrodes are inserted between the layers, thus enabling them to include polymer light emitting diodes and organic photodetectors for the skin.

Diodes are more than 10 times thinner than a human hair was so efficient that not much need of electric power and generate less heat. The research team said that the development of promising technologies that can be used.

This is not the first e-skin, but the researchers said the new e-skin is more durable and comfortable to wear because it is so thin and pliable. E-skin it also does not allow oxygen and water is evaporated to operate electronics thereby increasing the possibility of operating life of the device was of a "few hours" to "several days."
