Printed Electronics: towards Industrial application – Presented by Corne Rentrop, Holst Centre/TNO, at the 3D Printing Electronics Conference, which takes place on Jan 23, 2018 at High Tech Campus Eindhoven in The Netherlands.
In the last 10 years Holst Centre pioneered the printed electronics community. Electric circuit boards, OLEDs and transistors are printed on foil, ready to become flexible and producible on large scale using state of the art printing processes. New steps in the development of printed electronics are 3D forming of electrics using In-Mold or Thermoforming techniques (Structural electronics). Applications can be found in automotive and domestic markets. To industrialize printed electronics new projects are started that focus on reliability and manufacturability of the printed electronics techniques.
The talk will focus on this industrialization by explaining necessary manufacturing steps in printed electronics such as printing, pick and place and post-processing techniques. To focus on 3D electronics the talk will also include the recent developments in structural electronics.
