리버스 옵셋 인쇄는 인쇄전자를 위한 미세 패터닝기술 중 하나로서 수 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 선폭을 구현할 수 있다. 옵셋 인쇄의 특성상 잉크는 PDMS 재질의 블랑켓에 전사된 후 음각으로 패턴된 클리쉐에 접촉하여 불필요한 패턴을 제거하게 되는데, 이 때 블랑켓은 압력에 의하여 음각 패턴 내부로 침투하는 변형이 발생한다. 이러한 변형은 인쇄 압력에 비례하며, 과도한 인쇄 압력은 넓은 면적의 패턴을 인쇄할 때 클리쉐 패턴의 바닥에 블랑켓이 닿는 불량을 일으키게 된다. 이 논문에서는 리버스 옵셋 인쇄에서 가압변위에 따른 PDMS 블랑켓의 변형을 유한요소기법을 이용하여 모델링하고 접촉압력 대비 변형량을 예측함으로써 실제 인쇄 장비의 실험 결과와 비교하여 인쇄결함이 발생하지 않도록 하는 클리쉐의 제작조건을 제시하고자 한다.

The lighting devices using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are actively researched because of the various advantages such as high power efficiency and 2-dimensitonal lighting emitting. To commercialize those OLED lighting devices, the manufacturing cost must be downed to comparable price with conventional light sources. Here, we demonstrate a reverse gravure-offset or gravure off-set printed metal electrode for the auxiliary electrode for OLED lighting devices. For the fabricated OLED's auxiliary electrode, we used Ag nano-paste and printed metal grid structure with a line width and spacing of several ten and hundred micrometer by using gravure-offset printing. In the end the printing metal grid pattern are successfully achieved by optimization of various experimental conditions such as printing pressure, printing speed and printing delay time.

Reverse offset printing is considering as an emerging technology for printed electronics owing to its environmentally friendliness and cost-effectiveness. In reverse offset printing, selecting the materials for cliché and blanket is critical because of its minimum resolution, registration errors, aspect ratio of reliefs, pattern area, and reusability. Various materials such as silicon, quartz, glass, electroplated nickel plates, and imprinted polymers on rigid substrates can be used for the reverse offset printing of cliché. However, when new structures are designed for specific applications, new clichés need to re-fabricated each time employing multiple time-consuming and costly processes. Therefore, by modifying the blanket materials containing the printing ink, several new structures can be easily created using the same cliché. In this study, we investigated various elastomeric materials and evaluated their applicability for designing a highly stretchable blanket with controlled elastic deformation to implement tunable reverse offset printing.
