Impressions from Printed Electronics Europe 2012

The presentations with a focus on thin film photovoltaics covered topics relevant to both organic and inorganic technologies but also discussed the importance of incumbent technologies.

Printing technologies for conventional electronics

Screen Printing is one of the more established technologies utilised in the manufacture of what a lot would consider "conventional" electronics. And although they represent a hybrid state between fully printable electronics and electronics processed in silicon fabs, they also represent the intermediate step that leads to more accurate, fully automated atmospheric processing at very high volumes, with equally high yields.
