This is a reality in the laboratories of the Chemnitz researchers, who back in 2015 developed the multiple award-winning T-Book - a large-format illustrated book equipped with printed electronics.
If you turn a page, it begins to sound through a speaker invisibly located inside the sheet of paper.
"The T-Book was and is a milestone in the development of printed electronics, but development is continuing all the time," said Prof. Dr. Arved C. Hübler, under whose leadership this technology trend, which is becoming increasingly important worldwide, has been driven forward for more than 20 years.
From single-sheet production to roll-to-roll printing
Five years ago, the sonorous paper loudspeakers from Chemnitz wer
