Scanning head has used to detect the error signal in register controller. However the resolution of the system is not enough for E-printing(Electronic-paper printing). In this paper, the register mark shapes and process techniques are studied using a smart camera which can detect the register mark and calculate the printing error. With these, a register controller within 10[um] of error range is developed for e-printing system and confirmed with experiments.

With recent advances in materials and products, materials processing experiences new challenges. More particles and polymers in material side and thinner and faster deformations in processing side. It happens in most emergying industries such as manufacturing of batteries, solar cells, multi-layer chips, displays, printed electronics, to list a few. In most cases, they are manufactured by coating or printing process, which is defined as a process in which gas is replaced by liquid on a substrate. In this sense, casting, inkjet printing, and roll-to-roll printing are all included. The printing process consists of three unit processes. As the materials used in the above mentioned applications typically contain a large amount of particles with polymers and solvents, they continuously change microstructures during preparation, flow, and even drying. However, little is known about the flow characteristics of such complex fluids and less is known about how to design and control the process. Therefore, for better control of the process and for better quality of the product, we need to understand the flow characteristics of these complex fluids under extremely fast flow environment.

A curing process in post-printing section of R2R process is required for an electrical property of the printed pattern when devices such as RFID, Solar cell are printed. PEN as well as heat-stabilized PET which is used as a plastic substrate would be deformed at high temperature due to change of its elastic modulus. And crack in the printed pattern, which is on the plastic substrate is occurred due to the deformation of the substrate. The occurrence of crack causes electrical resistance to increase and the quality of the device to deteriorate. In case of RFID antenna, the range of reading distance is shortened as the electrical resistance of the antenna is increased. Therefore, the deformation of the plastic substrate, which causes the occurrence of crack, should be minimized by setting up low operating tension in R2R process. In low tension, slippage between a moving substrate and a roller would be generated when the operating speed is increased. And scratch would be occurred when slippage is generated due to an air entrainment, which is related to the thickness of the air film. The thickness of the air film is increased when operating speed is increased as shown by simulation based on mathematical model. The occurrence of scratch in conductive pattern printed by roll to roll process is a critical damage because it causes degradation or failure of electrical property of it.

Ink transfer process is very important to determine quality of printed pattern, therefore its mechanism should be understood to control printing quality. Although there have been many attempts to understand ink transfer mechanism by numerical simulation and experimental studies, their model was too much simple to model realistic printing process and our understanding is not enough yet. In this paper we designed ink transfer visualization system to present flow visualization of ink transfer process for gravure offset printing. We considered rotational effect of blanket roll which is related with printing speed and used non-Newtonian fluid as working fluid such as Ag paste. For printing unit, cantilever-type blanket roll is used for convenient visualization of ink transfer. Serial images were captured continuously by using high-speed CMOS camera and long range microscope. We investigated the effects of various design parameters such as printing speed and pattern angle on the ink transfer process. We found more stretched ink filament for non-Newtonian fluid than Newtonian fluid. As increasing printing speed, length of stretched ink filament and height of break-up point are also increased. We also compared ink transfer process between CD and MD pattern and its relationship with ink transfer mechanism.

본 연구는 Roll-to-Roll Sputtering 장비를 사용하여 제작된 Flexible ITO electrode 필름의 방사선 검출기로의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위해 기존의 Glass ITO electrode의 전기적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구는 Flexible ITO electrode와 Glass ITO electrode을 하부전극으로 형성하고, 최근에 X-ray 변환체로 활발히 연구되고 있는 Powder 형태의 반도체물질인 HgI2 와 PbI2를 Binder와 일정한 비율로 혼합하여 3-Rolls-Miller를 사용하여 Powder를 일정한 미세크기로 만들고, 대면적 제작이 용이한 Screen-Printing method을 이용하여 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 필름은 하부전극의 종류에 따른 X-ray 입사 후의 전기적신호의 차이를 측정하고, HgI2와 PbI2 중 Flexible ITO electrode와 더욱 효율적으로 반응하여 기존의 Glass ITO electrode를 대체할 수 있는 전극을 발견하여 진단용 의료영상의 왜곡 현상을 제거할 수 있는 Flexible 방사선 검출기의 제작의 초석을 제공하는 연구를 목적으로 한다. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 통하여 반도체 물질의 결정구조와 크기를 알아보았고, 하부 전극의 종류에 따른 전기적 신호검출을 위해 제작된 필름의 암전류(Dark current) 와 민감도(Sensitivity)를 측정한 후, SNR (Signal -to- Noise)을 계산하여 평가하였다.

반사방지(Anti-Reflection, AR) 특성은 태양전지, LED, 광검출기 등의 광전소자와 디스플레이의 효율과 투과도를 향상시키기 위해 적용되고 있다. 또한 최근에 네비게이션, 스마트폰의 보급 증가로 인해 소형 디스플레이에 지문방지와 동시에 반사방지 기능을 갖는 필름이 사용되고 있다. 현재 적용되고 있는 반사방지 필름은 다층박막 코팅으로 형성된 필름[1]으로 생산단가와 박막의 내구성 및 신뢰성에 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 나노구조로 제작 되는 반사방지 필름에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다[2]. 나노구조로 형성된 반사방지 구조는 moth-eye 구조라고 하며, 기본 원리는 원뿔 형태를 형성된 나노 구조를 통해 공기와 나노구조 사이의 유효 굴절률을 서서히 변화시켜 반사를 줄이는 것이다. 그러므로 moth-eye 나노구조는 파장 이하의 pitch와 파장 크기의 높이를 갖도록 구조가 제작되어야 한다[3]. Photo-lithography[4], e-beam lithography[5], interference lithography[6], dip-pen nanolithography[7], hybrid nano-patterning lithography[8] 등 여러 가지 방법으로 나노 구조를 제작하고 있으나, 네비게이션이나 스마트폰 등에 적용될 수 있는 대면적으로 제작하기 위해서는 roll-to-roll printing과 같은 대면적 공정을 이용하여 제작하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 원통형 알루미늄 rod에 양극산화를 통해 다공성 AAO(anode aluminium oxide) template를 제작하고, roll-to-roll printing 기술을 사용하여 moth-eye 나노구조를 갖는 반사방지 필름을 제작하는 것에 대해 기술하였다.

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.

We report flexible, bistable cholesteric displays utilizing polyester (PET) substrates with printed internal black electrodes. The black electrodes consist of carbon ink dispersed in butyl carbitol using a patented roll-to-roll gravure-offset printing. A transparent conducting polymer printed on PET serves as the counter electrode. The electro-optic material is a chiral nematic mixture dispersed in a low-concentration polymer binder. The device can be switched between scattering (black) and reflective (vibrant green) states upon application of an electric pulse. The internal black electrode enhances the contrast of the display and simplifies the roll-to-roll manufacture of flexible displays.
