ISORG, A FRENCH GEM IN
ELECTRONICS
Isorg is a young company leading the way in printed electronics. Founded in 2010, it is now bringing its innovative products to market. We talk to its President and founder Jean-Yves Gomez about
this disruptive technology and his vision of the industry,
as well as collaborations with Arkema, manufacturers and universities.
What innovations does Isorg offer?
Jean-Yves Gomez – Isorg develops and produces large-area image sensors. Think about the smartphone, an essential object in our daily lives. Because more and more of what we do requires protected confidentiality – bank transactions, signing legal documents, medical information, etc. – Isorg offers device security through a fingerprint sensor that covers the entire surface of the screen. This means there is no longer just one method of biometric authentication. An operation could be validated by placing several fingers on the screen, even the fingers of different people.
What is the field of application for these sensors?
J.-Y. G. – It’s vast! Everything that relates to security, of course, so borders and police checks, as well as medical imaging, tomography, cars, wearables, and so on. The potential fields are limited only by our creativity and our ability to imagine future needs.
For example, with cars, our sensors could trigger the release of airbags with a smart system, by adjusting the force of deployment according to the level of impact. In terms of wellbeing, rather than having warm air flowing through the cabin, as we do currently, imagine radiant printed electronic panels that warm the cabin evenly and regulate the temperature through sensors. >>>
“Thanks to electroactive inks, Isorg is introducing printing technologies
to make these large-area sensors.”
