There was always a trade off between flexibility and consistent electronic operation. If you bend the chip too much it stops working. If the chip is too rigid its not interesting.

Would be good if the write up could give some context into the bend-ability of this chip.



Indeed, I was looking for a minimum bending radius but did not find it. I'm pretty sure they have that data though, it would be one of the first things that people looking at applications for this tech would want to know about.

What interests me is that given the bending radius that you could simply roll up a whole device to some given diameter and be done with it, a typical case would be an aluminum tube that could be very easily totally sealed.
