Fig. 1. Concept and structure of the IMOS device.

Fig. 1

a Vision of the IMOS devices for e-skin application. Conceptual images illustrating the application of the IMOS device in the hair-inspired sensation system for mechanoreception. The stray field strength and direction of the hair-attached small magnets would be changed due to bending of the hair, which is detectable by the IMOS device. b Deterministic self-folding process. Illustration of the self-folding micro-origami process. Orthogonal folding is obtained due to the rational design of the layout and the hinges. c Layout design of the self-foldable platform. Exploded schematic of the layout for the self-foldable polymeric platform with embedded electronics and integrated active matrix driving circuitry. The embedded electronics and the a-IGZO active matrix backplane are interconnected through via holes. d One pixel in the 3D sensor. Image of a single pixel which is composed of a self-folded polymer cube containing three sensors located on the orthogonal planes. The side length of the cube is 400 µm. Scale bar, 200 µm.
