Abstract

It is reported that the global market for flexible electronics will reach 250 billion dollars by 2025, driven by the products on a human scale (the so called “electronics for life”). These devices such as LCDs cannot be made smaller. However, this field is immature and significant research and development is being conducted for the synthesis, manufacture and characterization of these kinds of devices. The manufacturing process has been identified as the bottleneck of the advancement of these products. High throughput, reliable and yet cost effective technologies are greatly needed for the developing of affordable and functional devices. Researchers and engineers at nScrypt have developed enabling tools and processing solutions for patterning components on large areas with great accuracy and repeatability. In this paper, we will present innovative printing/dispensing solutions as well as novel pumping technologies (smart pump) for the manufacturing and packaging on large areas. In addition to the smart pump, we have a mixer head and spray attachment for the developing of new materials and covering large area.
