Abstract: The report entitled "Clear way to overtake based on the technology of flexible electronics" can be divided into four parts, including the disruptive innovation defining the future of the country, the development of flexible electronics industry of our country, the innovation team, and recent achievements, and opportunities and challenges of the flexible electronics industry.
At present, new technological revolution and industrial transformation are gaining momentum. The age of "Carbon-based material + Photoelectric process", spawned the flexible electronics technology and corresponding industry, and opened up a very broad development space. This is bound to change the way of human mode of production, lifestyle, and thinking.
Flexible electronics is on the basis of flexible materials, taking the flexible electronics devices as the platform, taking the optoelectrical technology application as the core. Flexible electronics is a disruptive technological innovation subject combining physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, mechanics, optical engineering, biology, biomedical engineering, basic medicine and other disciplines, which offers new opportunities for the new generation of information technology revolution and the development of the era of intelligent manufacturing.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Party claimed that we should persist in the core position of innovation in the overall situation of our country's modernization, and put the technology self-reliance as strategic support for national development. The new generation of information industry, advanced materials, biotechnology, renewable energy, etc., that related to flexible electronics have been included in our country's national strategic emerging industries. The achievements of flexible electronics are transforming into a disruptive force leading to China's information technology reform and development. Nowadays, the electronic information technology of China is in a period of major change led by system innovation and intelligence. The in-depth research in the field of flexible electronics is a new engine driving innovation and development, and is a strategic opportunity for the fields of electronic information, intelligent manufacturing, etc., for our country.
