Fully-printed Electronics Technologies

Abstract

Developing scalable and low-cost methods for fabricating high-performance fully-printed devices remains a major challenge. Numerous researchers have shown that the fully-printed (or all-printed) process is attractive for large-scale manufacture of low-cost, flexible and large-area electronics in a high-throughput manner with minimal material waste. So why not fabricate an electronic device entirely using fully-printed technology? In this chapter, the advantages, printing methods and recent progress of fully-printed technologies are described.
