    摘要: The present description includes a flexible sensor including a flexible substrate, a thermoelectric substrate formed on the flexible substrate, a first metal electrode that is formed on the flexible substrate and is connected to one end of the thermoelectric body, and a second metal electrode that is formed on the flexible substrate and is connected to another end of the thermoelectric body but spaced apart from the first metal electrode. The flexible sensor simply measures the temperature and the flow velocity with high accuracy. The change in temperature and flow velocity may be measured in real time. In addition, the flexible sensor may measure the temperature and the flow velocity of a fluid even when attached to a curved surface, and self-development is possible by the measurement.
