2011 Printed Electronics Devices
This clarifies the development trends, adoption status, and application deployment of printed technology, providing an outlook on its future potential.
Printed technology is gaining attention. Conventional electronic devices, represented by semiconductors and LCDs, are primarily manufactured using deposition and lithography techniques. These devices have evolved to become more high-performance and larger in size, and particularly in cutting-edge fields, semiconductors have miniaturized while LCDs have approached the limits of large-scale manufacturing lines. As a result, constructing new production lines has required enormous funding. This has limited the number of manufacturers entering the market and has become a significant barrier to new entrants. The situation has become stagnant, resembling a dead end in some respects. Amidst this, the development of printed technology is progressing, and its application in mass production lines is advancing in some areas. Printed technology features low-temperature processes, low-power manufacturing equipment, cleanroom-less environments, and non-vacuum processes, making it a manufacturing technology with low initial costs. Additionally, the introduction of roll-to-roll methods has the potential to significantly enhance productivity and reduce running costs. This technology also allows for the flexibility and cost reduction of products, leading to lower prices. It has the potential to create new applications and markets.
