  • inkjet Printing as a key enabling technology for printed electronics
    2011
    Co-Authors: Ashok Sridhar, Thomas Blaudeck, Reinhard R Baumann
    Abstract:

    In the past decade, the family of Digital Printing technologies has evolved from being just a tool to visualize information into a generator of functionalities. The phrase ′Printing beyond color′ aptly sums up this transformation. While this family of Printing technologies is still widely used to fulfill visual requirements, its development in the generation of functionality, especially in the field of printed electronics, has resulted in an explosion of new ideas and fabrication approaches leading to lean manufacturing. The basic premise of Digital Printing, namely the positioning of a liquid (ink) droplet or solid (toner) particle of microscopic volume directly correlated with the presence of information at each pixel of the image or text to be produced, enables the economic deposition of expensive materials, functional or otherwise, only on desired locations on a substrate, that is, a selective deposition.

  • workflow and process management in Printing and publishing firms
    International Journal of Information Management, 2004
    Co-Authors: Michael Glykas
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the effects of the dramatic changes incurred in the sector of Printing and publishing after the introduction of Digital Printing. The print production process is rapidly shifting from analogue to Digital technologies as the infrastructure (or basis) for workflows. The efficiency of the production process requires the Digitalisation of all steps and elimination of analogue methods and materials from the process flow apart from the starting and finishing phase. Across networks, Printing will be a dial tone service simple, reliable, ubiquitous, fast, and cheap. The combination of all these aspects offers very important competitive advantages to Printing and publishing firms, which will be able to adapt their business processes, according to the technological and organisational framework of Digital Printing. This includes both the improvement of the already offered services in terms of best-value-for-money publishing and Printing as well the introduction of new services. In this article, we present a workflow solution over the web that allows Printing and publishing firms to capitalise fully the opportunities offered by Digital Printing. We also present results from performance measurement and reorganisation after the introduction of the D-PRINT solution to three Printing and publishing firms.

  • fabrication of transistors on flexible substrates from mass Printing to high resolution alternative lithography strategies
    Advanced Materials, 2012
    Co-Authors: Pieter F Moonen, Iryna Yakimets, Jurriaan Huskens
    Abstract:

    In this report, the development of conventional, mass-Printing strategies into high-resolution, alternative patterning techniques is reviewed with the focus on large-area patterning of flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) for display applications. In the first part, conventional and Digital Printing techniques are introduced and categorized as far as their development is relevant for this application area. The limitations of conventional Printing guides the reader to the second part of the progress report: alternative-lithographic patterning on low-cost flexible foils for the fabrication of flexible TFTs. Soft and nanoimprint lithography-based patterning techniques and their limitations are surveyed with respect to patterning on low-cost flexible foils. These show a shift from fabricating simple microlense structures to more complicated, high-resolution electronic devices. The development of alternative, low-temperature processable materials and the introduction of high-resolution patterning strategies will lead to the low-cost, self-aligned fabrication of flexible displays and solar cells from cheaper but better performing organic materials.
