Abstract
After the demonstration of the first organic FET in 1986, a new era in the field of electronic began: the era of organic electronics. Although the reported performance of organic transistors is still considerably lower compared to that of silicon transistors, a new market is open for organic devices, where the excellent performance of silicon technology is not required. Several commercial applications for organic electronics have been suggested: organic RFID tags, electronic papers, imagers, sensors, organic LED drivers, etc. The main advantage of organic technologies over silicon technologies is the possibility of making low-cost, large area electronics. The main processes which allow patterning with suitable resolution on a large areas are printing methods. Here we will provide an overview of methods that can be useful in the low-cost production of large area electronics.
