Commercial conductive metal inks are available, but metals used in these have unsuitable work function for efficient OLED device performance. Metals with low work function tend to oxidize easily, which makes it challenging to develop low work function metal inks. In this research we describe printed low work function Al cathode.

It is strongly expected that inkjet printing method will be play and important role on printable electronics such as 3D integration of embedded ceramic devices(capacitor, resistor, inductor and electrode or circuit), Si-TFT and organic TFT including display C/F, RFID, FPCB, and etc. A inkjet printing method had been center of attention to strengthen the competitiveness of flat panel display on market and to open the new world of manufacturing process of printable electronics. We will survey the industrial tendency of printable electronics and flat panel display including some examples of inkjet printing and present the considerable points of inkjet printing method and some role of materials for successful inkjet printing.

In this paper, we describe how specially developed polymer capped, nano-particle silver inks can be used to print circuitry for applications like displays, RFID antennas and "disposable electronics". The requirements of printing on temperature sensitive flexible substrates (such as polymer films and papers) that require low temperature curing is also discussed.

Printed electronics based on the direct writing of solution processable functional materials have been of paramount interest and importance. In this talk, the synthesis of printable inorganic functional materials (conductors and semiconductors) for thin-film transistors (TFTs) and photovoltaic devices, device fabrication based on a printing technique, and specific characteristics of devices are presented. For printable conductor materials, Ag ink is designed to achieve the long-term dispersion stability and good adhesion property on a glass substrate, and Cu ink is sophisticatedly formulated to endow the oxidation stability in air and even aqueous solvent system. The both inks were successfully printed onto either polymer or glass substrate, exhibiting the superior conductivity comparable to that of bulk one. In addition, the organic thin-film transistor based on the printed metal source/drain electrode exhibits the electrical performance comparable to that of a transistor based on a vacuum deposited Au electrode. For printable amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs), I introduce the noble ways to resolve the critical problems, a high processing temperature above $400^{\circ}C$ and low mobility of AOSs annealed at a low temperature below $400^{\circ}C$. The dependency of TFT performances on the chemical structure of AOSs is compared and contrasted to clarify which factor should be considered to realize the low temperature annealed, high performance AOSs. For photovoltaic application, CI(G)S nanoparticle ink for solution processable high performance solar cells is presented. By overcoming the critical drawbacks of conventional solution processed CI(G)S absorber layers, the device quality dense CI(G)S layer is obtained, affording 7.3% efficiency CI(G)S photovoltaic device.

For the past a few years, we have intensively researched the printable inorganic conductors and ZnO-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) for thin-film transistors. For printable conductor materials, we have focused on the aqueous Ag and Cu ink which possess a variety of advantages, comparing with the conventional metal inks based on organic solvent system. The aqueous Ag ink was designed to achieve the long-term dispersion stability using a specific polymer which can act as a dispersant and capping agent, and the aqueous Cu ink was carefully formulated to endow the oxidation stability in air and even aqueous solvent system. The both inks were successfully printed onto either polymer or glass substrate, exhibiting the superior conductivity comparable to that of bulk one. For printable ZnO-based AOSs, we have researched the noble way to resolve the critical problem, a high processing-temperature above $400^{\circ}C$, and recently discovered that Ga doping in ZnO-based AOSs promotes the formation of oxide lattice structures with oxygen vacancies at low annealing-temperatures, which is essential for acceptable thin-film transistor performance. The mobility dependence on annealing temperature and AOS composition was analyzed, and the chemical role of Ga are clarified, as are requirements for solution-processed, low-temperature annealed AOSs.

Screen printable $MoSi_2$ paste and its ceramic sheet heater were investigated. $MoSi_2$ powder without $Mo_5Si_3$ second phase, which causes so-called pest phenomena, was synthesized by SHS technique. Over glaze was also developed for preventing pest phenomenon. The maximum temperature of $MoSi_2$ ceramic heater was over $500^{\circ}C$. After several heat up and cooling cycle, the $MoSi_2$ heater reveals pest phenomenon. Conductive $MoSi_2$ paste could be used in electronic ceramics, i.e., MLCC, LTCC, HTCC, and etc.

In this report, we summarize recent progress in the development of electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) for various printed electronics. EGTs, employing a high capacitance electrolyte as gate dielectric layer in transistors, exhibits increasing of drive current, lowering operation voltage, and new transistor architectures. While the use of electrolytes in electronics goes back to the early days of silicon transistors, the new printable, fast-responsive polymer electrolytes are expanding their range of applications from printable and flexible digital circuits to various neuromorphic devices. This report introduces the structure and operating mechanism of EGT and reviews key developments in electrolyte materials used in printed electronics. Additionally, we will look at various applications with EGTs that are currently underway.

3D printing techniques have been recently adopted in the construction industry. It mainly utilizes additive manufacturing which is the fabrication process depositing successive layers of materials without any formworks. Conventional cementitious materials may not be directly applicable to 3D printing because 3D printable cementitious materials is required to satisfy such characteristics as pumpability, extrudability, and buildability in a fresh state. This study aimed to investigate rheological properties and required performances of 3D printable cementitious materials, by reviewing existing studies. Test methods and equipments, evaluation results and characteristics of mixture additives were compared. Based on reviews of existing studies, this study indicates that the viscosity is mainly relevant to the pumpability of 3D printable materials whereas the yield stress and thixotropy are important in securing buildability of the materials.
