The color difference between original and printed copy is affected mainly by ink trapping and optical properties of overprinted ink layer. Since the general expression itself about ink trapping is affected also by the optical properties, the analysis of color difference using the ink trapping only cannot be certain. This study will show a new approaching method for optical analysis of spectral reflectance and the effect of printing sequence on color difference in multi-color overprints under the condition of excluding completely the ink trapping problems by means of using transparent film as a substrate.

Roll-to-Roll printing process has become a great issue as a breakthrough for low cost and mass production of electronic devices such as organic thin film transistor, and etc. To print the electronic devices, multi-layer printing is essential, and high precision register control is required for this process. Unlike stop-and-repeat printing process, it is impossible to control the register in a static state since the roll-to-roll process is a continuous system. Therefore, the behavior of web such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyimide (PI) by the tensile and thermal stress generated in the roll-to-roll process as well as motor control of driven rolls has to be considered for a high precision register control. In this study, the correlation between curing temperature and thermal deformation of PET web is analyzed. Finally, it is verified experimentally that the temperature disturbance generates the more serious register error under the higher curing temperature.

The principal reasons for applying a pigment coating to paper are to improve appearance and printability. The pigment coating provides a surface that is more uniform and more receptive to printing ink than are the uncoated fibers and, in turn, both facilitates the printing process and enhances the graphic reproduction. The improvement in print quality is readily apparent, especially in image areas or when multiple colors are involved. Although pigment coating of paper is to improve the printability, coated paper is not completely free from printing defects. Actually there are a number printing defects that are observed only with the coated papers. Among the printing defects that are commonly observed for coated papers, print mottle during multi-color offset printing is one of the most concerned defects, and it appears not only on solid tone area but also half dot print area. There are four main causes of print mottle ranging from printing inks, dampening solution, paper, and printing press or its operation. These indicates that almost every factors associated with lithographic printing can cause print mottle. Among these variation of paper quality influences most significantly on print mottle problems in multicolor offset printing, and this indicates that paper is most often to be blamed for its product deficiency as far as print mottle problems are concerned. Furthermore, most of the print mottle problems associated with paper is observed when coated papers are printed. Uncoated papers rarely show mottling problems. This indicates that print mottle is the most serious quality problems of coated paper products. Overcoming the print mottle is becoming more difficult because the operating speeds of coating and printing machines are increasing, coating weights are decreasing, and the demands on high-quality printing are increasing. Print mottle in offset printing is caused by (a) nonuniform back trap of ink caused by a nonuniform rate of ink drying, referred as "back trap mottle, and (b) nonuniform absorption of the dampening solution. Furthermore, both forms of print mottle have some relationship to the structure of the coated layer. The surest way of eliminating ink mottling is to eliminate unevenness in the base paper. Coating solutions, often easier to put into practice, should, however, be considered. In this paper the principal factors influencing print mottle of coated papers will be discussed. Especially the importance of base paper roughness, binder migration, even consolidation of coating layers, control of the drying rate, types of binders, etc. will be described.

Roll-to-roll printing technology has lately become a subject of special interests in the field of printed electronics. Since this technology has the advantage that continuous and mass production is possible. And for high precision register control is required in multi-layer printing to produce the electronic devices, this is one of the most important technologies in roll-to-roll printing technology. Register error could be generated by various reasons like eccentricity of roll and thermal deformation due to temperature variation in drying section. In this study, the effect of tension variation on the register was analyzed. The results of these analyses show that it is essential to consider the tension disturbance which is generated by the change of temperature in drying section, and conventional register model has limitation to estimate the register error. In order to overcome the limitation of the register model, advanced register model based on the SI process was developed. Also, the performance of the developed model was verified experimentally.

인쇄전자는 RFID 나 유연 디스플레이 등의 전자회로나 소자를 인쇄방식으로 제작하는 공정이다. 특히 롤투롤과 같은 웹 이송방식 프린팅은 얇은 필름형태의 웹(Web)에 그라비아 인쇄나 고속 잉크젯과 같은 방법으로 이송중인 웹 상에 회로를 형성하는 공법이다. 이 공정은 생산단가가 저렴하고 고속생산이 가능하다는 이점이 있다. 다층구조를 가지는 회로나 디바이스를 생산할 때, 층과 층을 얼마나 정확하게 중첩시켜 인쇄하는가 하는 것은 인쇄된 전자회로의 집적도와 성능을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. 인쇄전자공법을 상용화하기 위해서 높은 중첩정밀도 구현이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 롤투롤 인쇄방식에서 중첩정밀도의 향상을 위한 위치측정 시스템을 제안하고 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 또한 웹이 변형되었을 때의 측정 강인성도 실험적으로 확인하였다.

We demonstrate novel soft-lithographic techniques for preparing patterned liquid crystal (LC) orientations at an alignment layer. By controlling patterning conditions such as wetting property and operating temperature depending on polymeric materials, multi-directional or modified LC alignment conditions can be simply achieved.

A limitation of oxide cathode is the high current density, caused by low electrical conductivity of an emitter layer. This limitation can be overcome by increasing the conductivity, and uniform dispersion of Ni powder and pore agent could be achieved by using the screen-printing method. This new cathode has shown not only high current density reliability but also improved performance characteristics and as such given the name "Multi-Function cathode". It is expected to be a good replacement of the impregnated cathode.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of $V_2$$O_{5}$ addition on the Ag and Cu precipitation in the NiCuZn ferrite layers of 7.7${\times}$4.5${\times}$1.0 mm sized multi-layer chip inductors prepared by the screen printing method using 0∼0.5 wt% $V_2$$O_{5}$ -doped ferrite pastes. With increasing the $V_2$$O_{5}$ content and sintering temperature, Ag and Cu oxide coprecipitated more and more at the polished surface of ferrite layers during re-annealing at $840^{\circ}C$. It was thought that during the sintering process, V dissolved in the NiCuZn ferrite lattice and the Ag-Cu liquid phase of low melting point was formed in the ferrite layers due to the Cu segregation from the ferrite lattice and Ag diffusion from the internal electrode. During re-annealing at $840^{\circ}C$, the Ag-Cu liquid phase came out the polished surface of ferrite layers, and was decomposed into the isolated Ag particles and the Cu oxide phase during the cooling process.

The 6- inch electrowetting display (EWD) can be successfully developed by ink jet printing (IJP) technique. Due to the drop-on-demand characteristic of IJP technology, colored oil can be precisely dosed into the unit pixel. Here, we present the active matrix EWD in this article. By adopting this technique to dose different colored oils, single layer Multi-color EWD without adopting color filter can be achieved in the future.

We fabricated a printed Ag:CNT film as a liquid sensor for the detection of HNS (hazardous and noxious substances) in seawater. The paste required for printing was prepared using Ag powder, MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes), and an organic binder. The heat treatment process for binder removal was optimized. In order to confirm that the sensor was operational, the resistance change characteristics in brine (3.5%) and methanol (99.8%) were assessed at $20^{\circ}C$. EDL (electrical double layer) formation and redox reactivity were confirmed as the most important reactions affect each electrical property of sensor in brine and methanol. From these results, it was determined that printed Ag:CNT film can be applied as a sensor to detect HNS in seawater.
