The process of manufacturing printed electronics using printing technology is attracting attention because its process cost is lower than that of the conventional semiconductor process.

In general, in order to implement printed electronics, narrow width and gap printing, registration of multi-layer printing by several printing units, and printing accuracy of under 20 μm are all required. The roll-to-roll printing equipment used for printed electronics comprises an un-winder/re-winder, printing units, dryer unit, guide unit, dancer system, vision system, and various auxiliary devices. The equipment designed and fabricated for this study on printed electronics is substantially that of a cantilever type, but printing units based on several auxiliary blocks can be added and adjusted for the user's convenience. The auxiliary blocks consist of a printing unit, registration unit, vision unit, dancer, load cell, in-feeder, and dry unit. Printing results obtained through roll-to-roll printing system show fine line-width/gap of 20 μm and registration under 10 μm.
