Abstract
Printed electronics and other large area roll-to-roll compatible manufacturing processes are opening up new opportunities for cost efficient mass production of electronics among other functionalities. Several large area and flexible substrates are being pursued such as plastic, paper, metal foils and fabrics as well as on glass. In this chapter different printing processes including flexography, gravure, screen and inkjet printing to deposit different solution-based materials for functional electronic devices on the glass substrate are presented. In addition, several application cases where printing processes are used to manufacture active components on flexible glass are introduced. In addition emerging high resolution printing processes, reverse offset and gravure offset techniques, are presented. Roll-to-roll printed organic photovoltaics cells printed on flexible glass are presented in details. Future trends of printed and hybrid electronics are discussed.
