Beyond Printed Electronics.
The Loomia Electronic Layer (LEL) is an award-winning soft circuit technology that delivers flexibility, durability, and design freedom that alternative approaches like printed electronics fall short of.
What are Printed Electronics?
Printed electronics are circuits formed by depositing conductive materials, such as conductive ink, onto a substrate. They emerged as a promising path toward flexible, lightweight electronics for wearables and next-generation devices.
Instead of etching away metal as in a traditional PCB, conductive patterns are printed or deposited, enabling thin, curved, and flexible configurations. But the technology comes with real tradeoffs in performance, integration, and scale.
Conductive Ink Printing
Silver or carbon-based inks are screen-printed or inkjet-deposited onto flexible substrates. Conductivity is limited, and curing processes can restrict material choices.
Substrate Limitations
Printed electronics often require smooth, uniform substrates. Direct application to textiles, leather, or complex 3D surfaces introduces significant adhesion and cracking challenges.
The Loomia Electronic Layer
The Loomia Electronic Layer takes a fundamentally different approach — assembling circuits within a layered TPU construction that bonds to virtually any surface without the fragility of printed traces.
