Previously fabricated electronic devices were used for vacuum manufacturing processes such as conventional semiconductor manufacturing. However, they are difficult to apply to continuous processes such as roll-to-roll printing, which results in very high device manufacturing and processing costs. Therefore, many developers have been interested in applying continuous processes to contact printing or noncontact printing technologies and they proposed various continuous printing techniques instead of conventional batch coating. In this paper, we proposed improved gravure offset printing process as one of the contact printing technique. We used etching pattern geometry with soft core blanket roll for printing of ultra fine line below the 10um.Using this technique we obtained flexible metal grid mesh film as transparent conductive film.

For mass production of electronic devices, the processing of the printing roll is one of the most important key technologies for printed electronics technology. A roll of printing process, the gravure printing that is used to print the electronic device is most often used. The indirect laser processing has been used in order to produce printing roll for gravure printing. It consists of the following processing that is coating of photo polymer or black lacquer on the surface of printing roll, pattering using a laser beam and etching process. In this study, we have carried out study on the coating and etching for $25{\mu}m$ line width on the printing roll. To do this goals, a $4{\mu}m$ coating thickness and 20% average coating thickness of the coating homogeneity of variance is performed. The factors to determine the thickness and homogeneity are a viscosity of coating solution, the liquid injection, the number of injection, feed rate, rotational speed, and the like. After the laser patterning, a line width of $25{\mu}m$ or less was confirmed to be processed through etching and the chromium plating process.

There has been a great interest in printing technology as a low cost and mass production method for the application of printed electronics such as printed TFT, solar cell, RFID Tag, printed battery, and so on. In this study, apparatuses of gravure-offset printing are developed for fine line-width/gap printing and examining pattern distortion occurred in gravure-offset printing process. The fine line-width/gap pattern shows that it is possible to make around 20 micro-meter line-width/gap printing patterns. Pattern distortion is modeled, and the amount and shape of the distortion are calculated by using commercial FEM code. The roll-to-roll printing system under development consists of unwinder/rewinder, two printing units, one coating unit, drying units, guiding unit, vision system, and other auxiliary devices. For multi-layer printing, the system is designed to be capable of printing two different materials.

We have manufactured low-curable silver pastes for gravure printing out of roll to roll printing process. When printing, the pastes be used different silver powder shape because of the printing characteristics. The pastes were prepared with silver powder by silver powder shape, polyester resin, solvent and homogenized on a standard three-roller mill. And the pastes exhibited a shear-thinning flow at viscosity profile. Moreover the adhesive strength and resistivity of silver film had good characteristics. With the manufactured paste in this study, RFID antenna circuit had flexible is manufactured and it had $10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

For the adaption of roll-to-roll printing method to the printed electronics, it is mandatory to increase the resolution of register errors. Therefore it is desired to derive the mathematical modeling of register error or to develop controller design. The cross direction register error was derived considering both lateral motion of moving web and transverse position of printing roll. The mathematical modeling was validated and the relationship between the lateral motion and register error was analyzed by numerical simulations in various operating conditions using multi-layer direct gravure printing machine. The results could be used for a design of the CD register in the multi-layer printing and the lateral motion caused by translation.

3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing(AM), has not been actively used in the clothing industry despite its potential for economic, environmental, and labor efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new 3D printing method for the clothing industry, which will be more readily accessible. This roll-type printing method can print wide-sized patterns at once using a 3D modeling program and a FDM 3D printer and help overcome the limitations imposed by the size of the printer. Then, to demonstrate the practical application cases of this printing method, bags of three designs were developed. Prior to product development, a thickness test was performed for stable printing using TPU(Thermoplastic Poly Urethane) filament, and a thickness of 0.45 mm was found to be most suitable for it. Next, the time efficiency test showed that the roll-type printing method takes less time compared to the general printing method in printing wide-sized patterns. Based on these tests, three bags, , and , were developed to confirm the suitability of the roll-type printing method for product development. The advantages of 3D roll-type printing can lie in overcoming of the spatial limitation, and the environmental sustainability as it can reduce waste from the production process. This study is significant in that it presents a new 3D printing method to improve the space limitations and time inefficiency of 3D printers.

The shape of the register mark for the image processing becomes very important, because the printing quality is determined by the error correction between the register marks for the image processing. In this paper, printing marks are developed using the image process for the gravure printing method which is commonly being used in roll to roll, high resolution printing. The marks which can be cited to the flexible display print are developed The developed register marks which satisfies 10[${\mu}m$] error tolerance are tested under 70[mpm] printing conditions and confirmed through the experiments.

The resistance of printed patterns for electrodes fabricated using printing technology should be minimized. This parameter depends on the pattern width and thickness; however, from the viewpoint of printability, the printed patterns should be printed at the designed width. The resistance of the printed patterns as well as printability is affected by various printing conditions. In this paper, the printing condition is optimized to minimize the resistance of electrodes printed by the roll-to-roll gravure method. This is done by considering the spread ratio of pattern width as a parameter of printability using design experiments. The drying temperature, dryer fan speed, and printing speed are selected as effective factors for the experiment objective. The optimized conditions are obtained and reproducibility test using these demonstrates that the optimized conditions can produce low-resistance electrodes for printability of the pattern width.
