Fabrication and Printing Characteristics of Near Field Communication Antennas Using Reverse Offset Printing

Recent advances in reverse offset printing: an emerging process for high-resolution printed electronics

“…To our knowledge, the concept of ROP has first appeared in 1980. 1) Until now, ROP has been extensively developed mainly in industrial sectors, and various patents on inks, processes, machinery, and applications have been actively filed from the late 1990 s-2010 s. ROP was first applied to create color filters for liquid crystal displays; since then, ROP has been used in thin film transistors, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] sensory applications, [18][19][20][21] printed memories, [22][23][24][25] touch panels, [26][27][28][29] etching resist, 7,30,31) organic light emitting diode, 32) quantum dots, 33) meta-material absorbers, 34) antennas, 35) electrodes for photovoltaics, 36,37) protein patterning, 38) and seed layers for electroless plating 2) and electroplating 39) as the remarkable resolution of ROP is being gradually recognized by various communities. Currently, many examples of printed devices exist, where entire devices or their parts were made by ROP, as shown in Fig.…”
