This paper describes several sensor and circuit solutions for organic flexible electronic devices. Organic field effect transistors (OFET) enable low‐cost, high‐flexibility and large‐area which can be utilized to implement smart sensors. These sensors can be in contact with the physical objects of any shape. Furthermore, as the devices are very light and flexible, they can even be placed in contact with the human skins. However, design of organic flexible circuits poses great challenges because of several intrinsic properties of organic materials. Thus, newer circuit techniques need to be adopted for robust operation. We give an overview of various sensor and circuit techniques developed in our research group along with other literature reports.
