Flexible thermal sensor network

A flexible thermal sensor network has been developed employing organic semiconductor diodes in a manner suitable for integration with the pressure sensor network. The possible implementation of both pressure and thermal sensors on the surfaces is presented. By means of laminated sensor networks, the distributions of pressure and temperature are simultaneously obtained.
