Additive high resolution metal printing for integrated plastic electronics

新兴的印刷塑料电子领域有可能通过引入新的消费品、医疗设备、汽车和飞机来显著改变我们的生活，这些产品重量轻、节能、成本低、环保。然而，用于金属图案化的增材数字方法的可用性仍然是塑料电子产品成功引入市场的限制因素之一。在这个项目中，我们将研究我们的专有技术，激光油墨转移塑料电子设备（LITPED），在制造高分辨率的金属图案，用于塑料电子产品。我们将生产该技术的演示器，并展示微电子设备和太阳能电池，其中包含使用LITPED技术生产的图案化组件。

The emerging field of printed plastic electronics has the potential to dramatically change our lives by introducing new consumer products, medical devices, cars and airplanes that are light-weight, energy efficient, and produced in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way. However, the availability of additive, digital methods for metal patterning remains one of the limiting factors for the successful introduction of plastic electronics in the market place. In this project, we will investigate the application of our proprietary technology, Laser Ink Transfer for Plastic Electronic Devices (LITPED), in the fabrication of high resolution metal patterns for use in miniaturised plastic electronics. We will produce a demonstrator of the technology and demonstrate micro-electronics devices and solar cells that incorporate patterned components produced with the LITPED technology.
