Manufacturing Electronics with Ink Jets

Dr. Linda Creagh is business development director for the Deposition Products operation of FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. She joined FUJIFILM Dimatix (a wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Corporation) in 1985 after ten years in ink jet development with Xerox R&D and seven years in liquid display research at Texas Instruments. She has a number of technical publications and U.S. and foreign patents in the fields of ink jet technology and liquid crystal displays. Dr. Creagh holds a Ph. D. degree from the University of North Texas in Physical Organic Chemistry.

FUJIFILM Dimatix's MEMS-based technology lets inkjet printing create products like displays and electronics, RFID antennas, smart tags, DNA arrays, smart packaging and wearable electronics. The Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-2831 is a low-cost, cartridge-based piezo inkjet printing system that enables direct deposition of functional fluids - including nanoparticle-based metallic and organic materials. Similarly, the DMP-3000 is capable of printing a wide range of functional fluids from both experimental cartridge-based printheads with small volumes and high performance printheads appropriate for industrial and high throughput applications. Expanding upon the DMP-2831 and the DMP-3000, the new DMP-5000 and DMP-5005 are large format, non-contact, fluid deposition systems capable of jetting a wide range of functional fluids using multiple FUJIFILM Dimatix fluid deposition printheads interchangeably.

 

FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. is the world's premier provider of piezoelectric inkjet printheads and systems. As of July 2006, FUJIFILM Dimatix is a wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Corporation. FUJIFILM Dimatix has more than 28 years experience in advancing the performance of drop-on-demand dispensing devices and applications, and its state-of-the-art technology provides solutions for the printed electronics industry.
