Laboratory for Future Electronics (LFE) investigates technologies and solutions related to energy-autonomy (storage and harvesting), sensors, conformably wearable electronics (soft/stretchable, on-skin, textile), and hybrid system integration.
Strong emphasis is placed on scalable, low-cost manufacturing methods such as printing as well as the integration of printed components and circuits with more conventional component assembly methods.
LFE is a part of Printed Intelligence Infrastructure (PII). PII is a distributed infrastructure between University of Oulu, Tampere University, Åbo Akademi, and VTT supported by Academy of Finland.
LFE explores new device and circuit approaches based on printable organic and metal oxide semiconductors
