Along with the advance of material development in nano-order, there have been some possibilities of applying screen printing technology which has been used since a long time ago, and even technologies that have been difficult for utilization of such as inkjet, gravure, flexo, offset, coating, and even roll-to-roll process like transcription could be used for formation of conductive patterning or the manufacture of electronics devices.
Printable electronics technology is suitable for mass production and does not require a vacuum environment, any complicated etching process, or waste liquid treatment. This printable electronics attracts many from all around the world such as Europe, the United States, Korea, Taiwan and China, not just in Japan.
When this technology is developed, it is anticipated to revolutionize the manufacturing process of items such as display (LCD, PDP, OLED, electronic paper), OEL lighting, solar battery, fuel cell, semiconductor, optical communication device, sensor, and O-TFT.
However, admitting the infinite possibility that printable electronics has, there are still many tasks that has to be accomplished before reaching that stage.
Therefore, there is a big important meaning to hold an exhibition and conference relating printable electronics in Japan, a country that leads the global electronic technology.
For early establishment of the printable electronics technology that is worth for practical use, various research findings and technologies from various fields need to be collected. “Printable Electronics 2009” plays an important role through this common opportunuty.
Expect to come in meeting to the latest technology at the show. |
