This paper presents heating process for obtaining standing carbon nanotube emitters to improve field-emission properties from the screen-printed multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films. In an atmosphere with optimum combination of nitrogen and air for heat treatment of CNT films, the CNT emitters can be made to protrude from the surface. This allows for high emission current and the formation of very uniform emission sites without special surface treatment. The morphological change of the CNT film by this technique has eliminated additional processing steps, such as surface treatment which may result in secondary contamination and damage to the film. Despite its simplicity the process provides high reproducibility in emission current density which makes the films suitable for practical applications.

By applying a critical field treatment instead of the conventional surface treatments such as soft rubber roller, ion beam irradiation, adhesive taping, and laser irradiation, electron emission properties of screen-printed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were enhanced and investigated based on the emission current-voltage characteristics through scanning electron microscopy. After nanotube emitters were activated at the applied electric-field of 2.5 V/um, the electron emission current density with good uniform emission sites reached the value of 2.13 mA/$cm^2$ , which is 400 times higher than that of the untreated sample, and the turn-on voltage decreased markedly from 700 to 460 V. In addition, enhancement of the alignment of CNTs to the vertical direction was observed.

Printed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were used in the fabrication of a screen- printed gate, source and drain electrodes on flexible plastic substrates using silver pastes, a coated polyvinylphenol dielectrics, and jetted bis(triisopropyl-silylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic semiconductor. The OTFTs printed using screen printing and soluble processes made it was possible to fabricate a printed OTFT with a channel length as small as $13\;{\mu}m$ on plastic substrates; this was not possible using previous traditional printing techniques.

Roll-printed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated by gravure or flexography printing using patterned PDMS stamp with various channel lengths, silver pastes, coated polyvinylphenol dielectric, and jetted bis(triisopropyl-silylethynyl) pentacene semiconductor on plastic substrates. The roll-printed OTFT parameters were obtained: fieldeffect mobility of $0.1\;cm^2/Vs$, an on/off current ratio of $10^4$ and a subthreshold slope of 2.53 V/decade.

We report all-ink-jet printed inorganic/organic hybrid TFTs on plastic substrates. We have investigated the optimal printing conditions to make uniform patterned layers of gate electrode, dielectrics, source/drain electrodes, and semiconductor as a coplanar type TFT in a successive manner. All ink-jet printed devices have good mechanical flexibility and current modulation characteristic even when bent.

Printed thin-film transistors (TFTs) have received profound interests as an alternative to their silicon counterparts for use in fabricating next-Gen microelectronics by virtue of projected low manufacturing cost and certain salient features (e.g., thin and lightweight characteristics, structural flexibility, etc.) that printed TFTs bring to device architecture. The economic advantages stem from engaging low-cost printing techniques (e.g., screen printing, gravure, flexography, etc.) for deposition and patterning in place of traditionally costly high-vacuum, high-temperature photolithographic processes. To render printing TFTs possible, solution processable materials are necessary.

Typically internal mobile LCD display modules are connected to the mobile product baseband PCB with flexible printed circuit board equipped with board-to-board connector. This solution has a drawback of limiting the product concept work to certain solutions that are based on connector size, location, flexible PCB length, bending, etc. in the display module. Also flexible printed circuit board based solutions are not completely optimized from reliability point of view, causing flex circuit board breakings. For the external displays in the PC or Home entertainment market, the cable solution is too expensive and resource demanding. The wireless solution has obvious advantages over reliability, low cost and flexibility. This paper describes a wireless audio-visual interface solution.

Reported herein is the film morphology control of inkjet-printed 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic thin-film transistors for the improvement of their performance and of the device-to-device uniformity. The morphology of the inkjetted TIPS-pentacene films was significantly influenced by the bank geometry such as the bank shapes and confinement area for the channel region. A specific confinement size led to the formation of uniform TIPS-pentacene channel layers and better electrical properties, which suggests that the ink volume and the solid concentration of the organic-semiconductor solutions should be considered in designing the bank geometry.

The printed electrodes of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated by screen printing using nanoparticle silver pastes. The screen printed OTFT corresponds to channel lengths between 7.6 to 82.6 ${\mu}m$ (designed L=10 to 80 ${\mu}m$) on the $150{\times}150mm^2$ paper. The channel length deviations for 40 to 80 ${\mu}m$ patterns were less than 5 %. However, the channel lengths for 10 to 30 ${\mu}m$ patterns were increased by 20 %. The screen printed bis(triisopropyl-silylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) OTFTs obtained had a field-effect mobility as large as 0.08 (${\pm}0.02$) $cm^2$/Vs, an on/off current ratio of $10^5$ and a subthreshold slope of 1.95 V/decade.
