Printed Optical Electronics Come Into View

There’s certainly no shortage of researchers working on Printable Electronics these days, but a group from the EU-funded CONTACT project is now boasting of a “Major Step” towards being able to Print Electronics on everyday materials. At the moment, they seem to be focused primarily on printing organic TFT displays directly onto glass plates, which apparently required the use of some aggressive solvents that “attack” the organic materials between the TFT and liquid crystal layers.
Their current Labratester 1 Printer apparently still has some problems precisely lining up each layer, however, but they say that’ll be fixed with the addition of some optical cameras in the Labratester 2 machine they’re now working on. Eventually, they say the system could be used to easily and cheaply print displays directly on watch faces or glasses, or even print other electronics onto paper or other fabrics.
