Next-generation materials and fabrication research for printed flexible electronics

印刷柔性电子（PFE）基础研究的应用是不同材料工程，智能光刻和电子物理的组合。随着产业界、学术界和公众的需求，PFEs领域正引起人们的关注。使用有机功能材料的电子和图形图案化技术之间的协同合作关系可以推动全新类型的新型PFE应用，例如柔性显示器，柔性传感器和简单的智能电子产品。功能性电子墨水材料的直接图案化可能是减轻世界对制造用于高分辨率PFE器件的纳米图案的关键需求的理想技术，而不是依赖于光刻的多个步骤。申请人曾在KAIST、MIT、Xerox Corporation等世界领先的学术和工业研发机构接受过培训，并为PFE领域带来了新的方法。

Applications of fundamental research in Printed Flexible Electronics (PFEs) are combinations of diverse material engineering, smart lithography, and electronic physics. The PFEs field is attracting attention as industry, academia, and the public demand. A synergistic partnership between electronics and graphic patterning techniques using organic functional materials could fuel an entirely new genre of novel PFE applications, such as flexible displays, flexible sensors, and simple smart electronics. Direct patterning of functional electronic ink materials may be the ideal technology for mitigating the world's critical need to fabricate nano-patterns for high-resolution PFE devices, instead of relying on multiple steps of photo-lithography. The applicant has been trained in the world's leading academic and industrial R&D institutions such as KAIST, MIT, and Xerox Corporation, and brings novel approaches to the PFEs field.
