“…8000 dpi. The accuracy of the droplet deposition, however, can be improved using feedback tools such as droplet imaging [28]. The assessment of the printing lateral resolution could be performed by visual analysis and direct size measurements on the images from optical, electron, or atom-force microscopy.…”

Functional inkjet printing is an emerging manufacturing technology for the production of various planar elements and electronic devices. This technology offers affordable freeform and highly customizable production of thin film micron-scale elements on various substrates. Functional inkjet printing employs various inks based on organic and inorganic materials with diverse functional properties, and among them, conjugated polymers are of particular interest due to their electrical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties. This paper provides an overview of inkjet printing with conjugated (semi)conductive polymers, including the fundamentals of the technology and its scope, limitations, and main challenges. Specific attention is drawn to the synthesis and chemistry of these polymers in connection with the patterning and functional properties of the inks composed thereof. Practical aspects of this technology are also highlighted, namely the manufacturing capabilities of the technology and particular applications for the fabrication of various electronic elements and devices.

“…However, while substantial progresses has been made on the frontplane process with the inkjetprinted OLED stacks, the efforts to adopt printed electronics technology for the AMOLED backplane process have lagged [54,55]. Despite sustained efforts for more than a decade dedicated to printed TFTs, including organic TFTs (OTFTs), the stringent performance requirement on the TFTs in the backplane continue to make printed TFTs of various forms inadequate to drive the OLED pixels.…”

With the Vertical Organic Light-Emitting Transistor (VOLET), we introduce a promising solution that could significantly benefit the manufacturing of displays, accelerating the wide adoption of flexible and printed electronics. The VOLET – like conventional, lateral channel, organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) – is compatible with a variety of printing techniques as well as flexible substrates and low-temperature processing. In combination these devices will enable a more cost-effective approach to mass-production that can dramatically extend the market potential of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. In this paper we discuss the prospects that AMOLED presents for the future of the display market, with a focus on the innovative VOLET device architecture. We assess how the integration of this device into active-matrix displays can contribute to the long range sustained competitiveness of AMOLED technology. We review recent progress in mass production techniques for printed electronics, with a particular emphasis on large-scale carbon nanotube (CNT) material deposition. Finally, we explore the prospects for fully printed active-matrix light-emitting displays, including a review of high-performance printed components whose integration could facilitate the mass production of low-cost, high-performance, VOLET based AMOLEDs.
