Displays are Here to Stay: Method Development for High Throughput Process Manufacturing Methods Employing RD Scale Ink Jet Printing

摘要

The manufacturing of displays has increased dramatically since the introduction of household televisions. Efficient production methods are paramount to meeting market demands required for this field. Ink jet printing offers an easy, low cost alternative to current display manufacturing. However, fluid development and proper printing parameters at the research level are required for manufacturing processing. The Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) addresses this prerequisite. In this paper, operating parameters and fluid characterization have been developed through processing both organic and inorganic conductive fluids. Because of the inherent versatility, uniformity and scalability of this system, established operating parameters coupled with proper fluid characterization will ultimately be translatable to production line systems.
