롤투롤 인쇄전자 시스템은 높은 생산성과 낮은 원가를 이점으로 인쇄전자 산업에서 가장 각광을 받고 있는 인쇄기술 중 하나이다. 이러한 롤투롤 인쇄전자 시스템에서 인쇄패턴의 특성은 인쇄물의 기능적 성질을 결정짓는 중요한 문제라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인쇄패턴의 특성을 결정짓는 주요 인자들이 특별히 인쇄패턴의 두께와 표면 조도에 미치는 영향성에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 실험계획법을 적용하여 인쇄패턴의 두께와 표면조도에 대한 각 인자의 주효과 및 교호작용 효과를 정량적으로 제시하였고, 분산분석을 통해 유의한 인자를 찾아내었다. 또한 이에 따르는 통계적 모델이 주요 인자의 함수로서 개발되었다. 이러한 결과는 롤투롤 전자인쇄 시스템의 특징에 따라 요구되는 인쇄패턴의 특성을 얻는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Roll to Roll (R2R) is one of the most promising production technologies in the printed electronics such as OLEDs, e-paper, backplanes, RFID because this technology can save production cost and increase production speed. Printed electronics includes various processes such as printing, drying, winding, unwinding, and so on. In printed electronics R2R system, air-flotation oven is employed for drying process. Therefore, it is essential to introduce efficient and fast drying process when printing is finished. This paper considers the analysis of drying process in R2R that involves hot air flow. Air-flotation oven consists of non-contact supports and drying of coated web materials such as plastic films and paper. In this paper, experimental results and numerical analysis of pressure-pad air bar are investigated. The aerodynamic characteristics of pressure-pad air bar are numerically calculated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. Then the measured values of the aerodynamic forces for air bars are compared with those of CFD analysis.

Ink transfer process from the printing roll to the moving web was investigated using a CFD technique for the application in R2R printed electronics. In line with the requirement that the web handling speed needs to be increased further for the cost competitiveness, the effects of web moving velocity with relatively complex roll patterns were analyzed. To make the present analysis more realistic, the numerical geometry and the ink properties were selected to match those of the real printing production system. Our numerical results showed that both web handling speed and complex printing-roll patterns influenced the shape of the transferred ink. As the web moving speed approaches towards 30mpm, a significant distortion of the shape of the transferred ink occurred. In the range of pattern width smaller than 100 microns, a phase distortion was also found to occur in all the printing-roll patterns considered in the present work but the ratio of the phase distortion to the line width gets smaller as the width becomes smaller. Thus, the web handling speed and the shape of printing-roll pattern will be important elements for the better printing quality under 100 micron line width range.

In a post printing section of roll to roll printing systems, scratch problem is the major defects. The functional qualities such as conductivity, mobility could deteriorate because of the scratch defect. In general, the scratch of the printed pattern on the flexible substrate was induced from a contact between rolls and printed pattern in the post printing section. In this paper, for non-contacting transfer of a moving web, a mathematical tension model has been developed considering strain due to air floatation and the proposed mode has been validated by numerical simulation. Additionally, the correlation between floatation height and speed compensation to control the tension and register are investigated. On the basis of the proposed model, a guide line of speed control in R2R printing system is presented to guarantee the non-contact between rolls and R2R printed pattern on the flexible substrate.

This research is about the drying and curing characteristic of conductivity metallic ink on-line curing device in order to improve the curing time for productivity in RFID Gravure printing. The curing process is carried out to increase the electric conductivity after the metallic ink is printed on the substrate. The metal ink is composed of nano-sized silver or copper particles. In this research, the combined IR and Hot air curing system is used and its results is compared with those of oven, IR and Hot Air type respectively. Generally the curing time in the past is about 3 minutes. But the combined system (IR+Hot Air) in this research shows that curing time is less than 30 seconds. These results is much faster than those of other system. This study can be help to make Roll-to-Roll drying and curing process for mass and continuous production on-line.

e-Printing은 전통 인쇄 기술을 기반으로 하는 전자소자를 생산하기위한 새로운 기술이다. 이러한 인쇄 전자 소자들은 가격을 낮추기 위하여 대면적 인쇄가 요구된다. 이렇듯 원가를 절감하며 전자 소자에 요구되는 정밀도를 충족하기 위하여 롤투롤(Roll to Roll) 방식의 그라비아(Gravure) 인쇄 시스템이 하나의 대안으로 제시된다. 그라비아 인쇄에는 인쇄 전자 소자의 성능에 영향을 미치는 요소들이 매우 많다 : 건조 방식, 건조 온도, 운전 장력, 인쇄 속도, 잉크 점도, 잉크의 전도성, 망점 및 패턴의 정밀도. 이상에서 언급한 요소들은 각각 매우 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 인쇄 전자소자의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 반듯이 인쇄 적합조건을 찾아야만 한다. 본 논문에서는, 전도성 잉크 및 그라이아 인쇄기를 사용하여 다양한 요소의 조건을 변화하여 패턴(선 및 면)을 인쇄하였으며, 각 인쇄 요소의 변화가 인쇄 전자소자의 성능에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석 및 연구를 수행하였다.

A new rotary gravure-offset printing unit is constructed by paralleling a gravure plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder and a impression roller. A Muti-Unit Gravure-Offset Printing Press(MUGOP) equipped with a series of the 3 printing units is utilized for roll-to-roll fine printing. Its core technology is precise over-piling printing of fine patterns. The severe problems of 'slurring' and 'doubling' in typical offset printing are unavoidable, which can be eliminated by applying a soft pad-type blanket cylinder and the unique 'true rolling' technique. Nip pressure between the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder is measured by the constant pressure control system which equipped with load cells attached on the cylinders' axes. The running circumference of the blanket cylinder is increased to reach the same circumference of the plate cylinder as the pressure increasing, so that the specifications of the blanket cylinder is determined by the relationships of its shore hardness, diameter and nip pressure. When a softer blanket is used, a blanket cylinder of smaller diameter could give higher nip pressure. Realization of the true rolling technique on the MUGOP makes multilayer printing possible as well as fine printing in printed electronics.

PEMS (printed electro-mechanical system) is fabricated by means of various printing technologies. Passive and active compo-nents in 2D or 3D such as conducting lines, resistors, capacitors, inductors and TFT(Thin Film Transistor), which are printed withfunctional materials, can be classified in this category. And the issue of PEMS is applied to a R2R process in the manu-facturing process. In many electro-devices, the vacuum process is used as the manufacturing process. However, the vacuum process has a problem, it is difficult to apply to a continuous process such as a R2R(roll to roll) printing process. In this paper, we propose an ESD (electro static deposition) printing process has been used to apply an organic solar cell of thin film forming. ESD is a method of liquid atomization by electrical forces, an electrostatic atomizer sprays micro-drops from the solution injected into the capillary with electrostatic force generated by electric potential of about several tens kV. ESD method is usable in the thin film coating process of organic materials and continuous process as a R2R manufacturing process. Therefore, we experiment the thin films forming of PEDOT:PSS layer and active layer which consist of the P3HT:PCBM. The organic solar cell based on a P3HT/PCBM active layer and a PEDOT:PSS electron blocking layer prepared from ESD method shows solar-to-electrical conversion efficiency of 1.42% at AM 1.5G 1sun light illumination, while 1.86% efficiency is observed when the ESD deposition of P3HT/PCBM is performed on a spin-coated PEDOT:PSS layer.
