When these charged droplets come into contact with the surface of the print they collect any substances deposited on it, creating a thin liquid film.
In the garments, body temperature is monitored through a thin-film transistor, while respiration is gauged using electrical resistance, but both technologies employ the pentacene as a sensing layer.
ENGADGET: "Organic semiconductors" help researchers monitor your heart
In the lab Cigs has a maximum solar conversion efficiency of 20.2%, better than the 16.5% of a thin-film technology that kicks the pants off the traditional crystalline silicon panels on price per watt of capacity.
Nanosolar is one of several Silicon Valley startups that have attracted billions of dollars in venture capital to develop a thin-film technology called copper indium gallium selenide, or CIGS. Such solar cells use little expensive silicon, the main ingredient of conventional photovoltaic cells.

The wings are covered with a sheet of thin-film solar panels, which produce less power than the polycrystalline solar panels found on buildings, but are very lightweight.
Asked whether he foresees a supply problem with thin-film transistor (TFT) screens, in light of reports that vendors cannot keep up with demand for the products, Sanchez said that IBM has "ample supply sources" for the screens.
It also likes companies that are working on making smaller batteries, like Qynergy, a New Mexico-based company working on radioisotope batteries, and Infinite Power Solutions, a Colorado developer of thin-film batteries that can power RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking chips.
But its display consists of a 9.5 cm diagonal thin film flexible E Ink display.
The scene, like much of the better moments in the film, walks a thin line between comedy and outward embarrassment, but it's a very real line to be walking.
