Chisso's High Functional Inks - Key Materials for Industrialization of Ink Jet Printing System (Printed Electronics Europe 2008)

Mr. Hiroyuki Satoh is a manager at Goi Research Center of Chisso Petrochemical Corporation in Ichihara, Chiba Japan. He studied catalytic chemistry at Muroran Institute of Technology in Japan and has joined Chisso in 1985. From 1986 to 2001, he was involved in the R&D of the color filter materials applied for the LCDs, and was also involved in negative- and positive-photosensitive resist materials for high-density patterns in the LCDs from 2002 to 2005. Since 2006, he is a manager of a research group that is responsible for the R&D of ink-jetting materials. He has a number of technical publications, as well as EP, US and JP patents in the field of transparent polymer materials that are suitable for the LCDs.

Chisso Corporation, a $3B global chemical supplier, develops a variety of ink-jet printing inks. Chisso UV curable ink-jet ink is suitable for a variety of applications including fabrication of microlenses with high transparency. Chisso thermal cure polyimide ink-jet ink can be used as an insulating layer in Electroluminescense (EL) devices and can be applied to printed circuit boards, semiconductors and many other applications. The use of Chisso ink is expected to simplify manufacturing processes, lower facility costs and reduce effects on the environment.

 

Chisso Corporation, based in Tokyo, Japan, manufactures and sells liquid crystal materials, alignment films, overcoats for color filters and many other performance chemical products. Please visit http://www.chisso.co.jp/english/index.asp for more information.
