Recent progress in microsystems integration technology such as ultra‐thin chip packaging, stretchable interconnections, thin‐film batteries and organic photovoltaics makes it feasible to incorporate various electronic components and transducers in extremely confined spaces and inside flexible or conformable objects. Can this ultimately lead to a genuine display in a contact lens? The major outstanding issues are reviewed.
