Towards Realizing High-Throughput, Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing of Flexible Electronic Systems

چکیده
High-rate roll-to-roll (R2R) tracker systems are utilized for large volume flexible electronic device manufacturing, and the current alignment mechanism between layers is mainly achieved by relying on passive techniques. In this paper, we present a machine vision based alignment strategy that is used to achieve precise registration for stacking multilayers. Based on this strategy, we demonstrate two-layer printing with alignment accuracy better than 100 μm in web moving direction and 200 μm in lateral direction at a web rate of 5 m/min.

Microstructure formation via roll-to-roll UV embossing using a flexible mould made from a laminated polymer–copper film
Roll-to-roll large format UV embossing processes aim to revolutionize the manufacturing of functional films, with the ability to process a large area at one time, resulting in high throughput and cost reduction. In this paper, we present the experimental results obtained during the process development for roll-to-roll large format UV embossing. Flexible moulds were fabricated from a hybrid film...
متن کاملA fully roll-to-roll gravure-printed carbon nanotube-based active matrix for multi-touch sensors
Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing has been pursued as a commercially viable high-throughput technology to manufacture flexible, disposable, and inexpensive printed electronic devices. However, in recent years, pessimism has prevailed because of the barriers faced when attempting to fabricate and integrate thin film transistors (TFTs) using an R2R printing method. In this paper, we report 20 × 20 acti...

Conjugated polymers are excellent candidates for use in low-cost electronics and photovoltaics (PV)1. Polymer-based solar cells have reached power conversion efficiencies of 5% in recent reports2–6. Deposition of organics by screen printing, doctor blading, inkjet printing, and spray deposition is possible because these materials can be made soluble. These techniques are required for the high-t...
متن کاملLarge-area, continuous roll-to-roll nanoimprinting with PFPE composite molds.
Successful implementation of a high-speed roll-to-roll nanoimprinting technique for continuous manufacturing of electronic devices has been hindered due to lack of simple substrate preparation steps, as well as lack of durable and long lasting molds that can faithfully replicate nanofeatures with high fidelity over hundreds of imprinting cycles. In this work, we demonstrate large-area high-spee...
متن کاملFlexure-based Roll-to-roll Platform: A Practical Solution for Realizing Large-area Microcontact Printing
A continuous roll-to-roll microcontact printing (MCP) platform promises large-area nanoscale patterning with significantly improved throughput and a great variety of applications, e.g. precision patterning of metals, bio-molecules, colloidal nanocrystals, etc. Compared with nanoimprint lithography, MCP does not require a thermal imprinting step (which limits the speed and material choices), but...
