Memory element with printed line sequences of conductive material printed on flexible substrate, with each line either conductive or non conductive due to interruption

摘要

The unit has lines sequences (3, 4) made of a conductive material and printed on a flexible substrate (2), such that each line is either conductive or non conductive due to an interruption (5). The interruption is formed by a printed narrow place of the line, which is converted by flow and/or tensile admission of the line into an insulator. The conductive material is made of an organic material or an inorganic material. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a reader for reading a memory unit (B) a method for manufacturing a memory unit.
