Coating and deposition for flexible organic electronics

摘要

Printing numeric minidisplays for smart cards, RFID tags, and other relatively simple electronic devices on flexible substrates is one thing. But developing and eventually manufacturing integrated, low-power, full-color flexible display modules, plastic memory and logic circuits, and other more sophisticated components is a much more daunting task. Production schemes range from roll-to-roll to batch/sheet toolsets; operate in vacuum and/or atmospheric conditions as well as elevated or ambient process temperatures; use plastic, stainless-steel-foil, or even paper substrates; and employ semiconductor-like equipment or gear adapted from the print industry.
