Mimotype has developed new material systems for bio-inspired, organic semiconductor technology which enable light to be generated in the same way as in nature. In that way, Claudio and Danilo Floras have invented Hydrogel-based light-emitting diodes for medical use in the wearables sector, high-end lighting solutions for the automotive, aviation, aerospace and marine sectors, as well as innovative textile fibers.
