최근 잉크젯 프린팅 기술을 이용한 인쇄전자 분야가 차세대 기술로서 각광받고 있으며, 복수의 프린트 헤드(head)로부터 다양한 잉크 형태의 소재를 정밀하게 출력하여 적층할 수 있는 3D 프린팅 기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 잉크젯 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용하여 광경화성 실리카 잉크와 PVP가 첨가된 나노 구리 잉크로 절연층과 전도층의 복합구조체를 제작하였다. 프린팅 구동 조건과 잉크의 유변학적 거동을 최적화하여 정밀한 광경화 실리카 절연층을 적층 제조하였으며, 절연층의 저항은 2.43 × 10¹³ Ω·cm의 값을 나타내었다. 광경화 실리카 절연층 위에는 액적 간격 제어를 통하여 나노 구리 전도층을 프린팅하였다. PVP 첨가 나노 구리 잉크의 소결은 IPL 광소결 공정을 이용하였으며, 어닐링 온도와 인가 전압 변화에 따른 전기적, 기계적 특성을 확인하였다. 100℃ 어닐링 온도와 700 V IPL 광소결 조건에서 PVP가 첨가된 나노 구리 전도층의 저항은 29 μΩ·cm으로 매우 낮으며, 광경화 실리카 절연층과의 접착력은 매우 우수한 것으로 확인하였다.

잉크젯 기술은 가정용 프린터에서부터 제조 도구로 확대 되었다. 최근 인쇄전자 분야에서 고해상도 인쇄가 요구되고 있다. 기존의 잉크젯 인쇄 패터닝 방식을 향상 시키기 위해 전기수력학잉크젯 기술이 최근 주목을 받고 있는데 노즐 직경보다 작은 방울을 토출할 수 있고 넓은 점도 범위와 재료를 사용할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 미세 패터닝을 위한 EHD 프린팅 시스템이다. 요구 적출형 프린팅에 의해 다양한 패턴을 인쇄하고 벡터와 레스터 프린팅 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 내경이 $8{\mu}m$ 인 노즐을 이용하여 $7{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세 전도성 선폭을 EHD 방식을 통해 만들 수 있다.

In recent years, the application of digital textile printing has increased. The benefits of using this method include the ease of sampling and the production of printed textiles. However, the production process of digital textile printing differs from that of conventional printing. For successful digital textile printing by ink-jet technology, the pretreatment of fabrics is very important in order to overcome the following problems. Low viscosity ink can spread easily on the textile surface leading to poor resolution. As a result, the combination of ink and pretreatment chemicals is still impractical and consequently most fabrics used in digital textile printing will require a pre treated coating in order to prevent the ink colours from bleeding on the fabric. Research presented in this paper shows some preliminary attempts to establish the relationship between the pre treatment and the digital textile printing quality. Various cotton fabrics were treated with pre treatment agents including ingredients like thickener, alkali and humectant, and then ink spread effect and colour yield of printed fabrics by reactive ink were analysed by using an optical microscope and K/S value. The results show that digital textile printing quality on cotton fabrics can be optimized with appropriate pre treatments.

Recently, the trend in the printing industry includes shorter run lengths and with fast turnaround times. As new markets have made it possible to produce small quantities of high-quality color products at affordable price, the general commercial printing meets the customer's diverse demand by using spot color besides process four colors. Especially, by using spot color for printing the enterprise's logo or specific color, we can see the effect of printing is getting better. With the combination of the right software, ink, media, and device can be treated as a digital proofer for spot color printing, providing significant time and cost savings compared to conventional procedures. The objective of this study is to investigate the quality of spot color proofs printed by ink-jet and dye sublimation proofer using ICC-based color management system. An Epson Stylus Color 3000 ink-jet proofer combined with Best Color Proof XXL RIP was tested for glossy and matte paper. 3M Rainbow dye sublimation proofer was examined using 3M Rainbow controller ver. 4.1 RIP on the manufacturer recommended proofing paper. ICC profiles were generated for each device using ECI 2002 visual target and evaluated for the accuracy of process 4 color reproduction. The test charts consisting of Pantone color 1140 was selected to test the quality of spot color reproduction.

We investigated the influence of organic solvents on the droplet properties of 6,13-bis (triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene), which was used for semiconductor of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and deposited by ink jet printing. From the result of the investigation, the conditions of a suitable solvent is that boiling point should be above $200^{\circ}C$ to reduce coffee stain and the surface tension above 32 dyn/cm to decrease the droplet size. Consequently, we selected tetralin which have a high boiling point ($207^{\circ}C$) and high surface tension (34.3 dyn/cm) as the solvent for TIPS-pentacene, and applied it to OTFTs. In fabrication process the conventional bank process employing photolithography and etching process was replaced by ink jet printed bank process, resulting in simplifying the process. Especially, polyvinylphenol was used for the bank, and the high hydrophobicity could improve the confinement of TIPS molecules inside the bank, enhancing the performance over the conventional hydrophilic polyvinylalcohol bank. The mobility was $0.18\;cm^2/Vs$, current on/off ratio $2.09{\times}10^5$, subthreshold slope 0.42 V/dec, and off state current $0.049\;pA/{\mu}m$.

Interest in use of ink-jet printing for pattern-on-demand fabrication of metal interconnects without complicated and wasteful etching process has been on rapid increase. However, ink-jet printing is a wet process and needs an additional thermal treatment such as an annealing process. Since a metal ink is a suspension containing metal nanoparticles and organic capping molecules to prevent aggregation of them, the microstructure of an ink-jet printed metal interconnect 'as dried' can be characterized as a stack of loosely packed nanoparticles. Therefore, during being treated thermally, an inkjet-printed interconnect is likely to evolve a characteristic microstructure, different from that of the conventionally vacuum-deposited metal films. Microstructure characteristics can significantly affect the corresponding electrical and mechanical properties. The characteristics of change in microstructure and electrical resistivity of inkjet-printed silver (Ag) films when annealed isothermally at a temperature between 170 and $240^{\circ}C$ were analyzed. The change in electrical resistivity was described using the first-order exponential decay kinetics. The corresponding activation energy of 0.44 eV was explained in terms of a thermally-activated mechanism, i.e., migration of point defects such as vacancy-oxygen pairs, rather than microstructure evolution such as grain growth or change in porosity.

The need for low cost, flexible, thin film transistor (TFT) display backplanes has focused attention on new processing techniques and materials. We report the development of TFT backplane technology based entirely on jet-printing, using a combination of additive and subtractive processing, to print active materials or etch masks. The technique eliminates the use of photolithography and has the potential to reduce the array manufacturing cost. The printing technique is demonstrated with both amorphous silicon and polymer semiconductor TFT arrays, and we show results of small prototype displays.

Since Samsung SDI and Sony started mass production of AM-OLED display for mobile/TV applications, OLED technology has emerged as leading candidate among the many technologies under development for next generation Flat panel displays. P-OLED (Polymer Organic Lighting Emitting Diode) technology, a class of OLED, is gathering momentum towards commercialization. P-OLED technology has made tremendous progress in terms of display performance (including life time, efficiency and color gamut) and in the maturity of ink jet printing process and equipment. In order to get into the mobile/TV application market successfully, P-OLED display technology must meet the following display makers' requirements: (1) P-OLED Display Performance in terms of lifetime, efficiency, and color coordinates, (2) Low Cost Manufacturing Technology such as "Solution Processable Printing Technology". P-OLED technology has already overcome many of the hurdles to mass manufacturing. In this paper, the latest developments in ink jet printing technology, including P-OLED material performance, is discussed.

We have developed polymer LED displays using ink jet printing without visible swathe marks which can be observed during display operation. In addition, we have also developed a single-pass printing technology for hole-conduction layer deposition to significantly reduce the complexity of interlacing printing across the panel which is known as an alternative to remove the swathe mark.
