This document discusses printed electronics, which is a revolutionary technique for making low-cost electronic components through additive manufacturing processes like printing. Printed electronics uses new materials formulated as inks and a 3-step fabrication process involving printing, curing, and laminating. It has advantages over conventional electronics like lower costs, flexibility, and lower capital investment. Potential applications include solar cells, LEDs, sensors, RFID tags, batteries, and smart packaging. The future of printed electronics is promising as the technology could enable colorful, flexible devices and be combined with other fields.

6. ØProcess of printed electronics

7. ØSteps in printed electronics fabrication
Printing
Printing: is printing of
Nanoparticle ink on substrate
Curing : is a photochemical
process in which high-
Curing
Laminating
process in which high-
intensity ultraviolet light is
used to instantly cure or “dry”
inks
Laminating: is protecting
from outer environment

8. ØPrinted Electronic Materials
Semiconductors:- is place main role
in electronics and it necessary to
form as ink.
E.g.:- any Nanoparticle
semiconductor inksemiconductor ink
Dielectric. This is a non-conductive
(i.e. insulating) material used to
block or inhibit charge migration.
E.g.:- Imide-Norbornene copolymer,
Metal oxide

9. Conductors:- anywhere
that charge always needs
to be able to move freely.
E.g.:-silver ink, conductive
carbon ink, silver chloride
ink.ink.
Substrate. This is the
foundation on which the
device is built
E.g.:-plastic, steel or even
paper

10. ØAdvantages

usage of PV is
flexibility can also be
achieved

14. •Printed LED
•Using printed technology
flexible led will develop
•Organic light emitting
diodes (OLED) arediodes (OLED) are
receiving a lot more
attention in recent years,

15. •SENSORS •Printed batteries(Paper)•RFID
•Smart Packaging Flexible Displays
Touch Screens

16. ØFuture of printed electronics
•IN Future printed electronics gives Color
•And easy fabrication
•Colorful wide area solar cells
•Combination of other technologies in wide
range of applications
· PE with nano technology
· PE with NEMS
· PE with robotics
· PE with biomedical science
range of applications

17. ØConclusion
Printed electronics main advantage is very low cost so
it is used in solar cells is good idea.
Printed electronics will have implications across a
wide range of industries. Displays, RFIDs, sensors,
and wearable or biocompatible electronic equipmentand wearable or biocompatible electronic equipment
are amongst the hottest research topics.
