A stretchable pixelated electronics platform combining single-crystalline silicon pixels with finely patterned liquid metal interconnects achieves fill factors up to 81% and biaxial stretchability of 100%.
- Why it matters: High-density stretchable pixel arrays are needed for robotic vision, skin-mountable sensing, and wearables, but prior designs have not simultaneously delivered strong performance, stretchability, high fill factor, and dense integration.
- What they did: The authors use a monolithic microfabrication approach on ultrathin elastomeric substrates to build customizable, densely packed compliant pixel arrays, then demonstrate shape-reconfigurable imaging and robotic/skin-mountable lens-free imaging.
- The result: The platform supports multiscale visual acquisition and depth sensing by enabling complementary retinal-like and epidermal-like imaging operation, including tunable-focus robotic vision and skin-mountable lens-free imaging.
