Abstract

An inkjet printing system for printed electronics was developed. In this study, a printing algorithm was mainly discussed. In order to print a pattern image at a target location, we developed a hardware and software algorithm for determining the distances between a substrate camera and the selected nozzles. We implemented a vector-printing algorithm where AutoCAD dxf file was used for XY motion control and for printing. We also developed printing method using bitmap images. The technical issues in using CAD drawings and bitmap images were discussed.

전자 인쇄 분야에 활용이 가능한 잉크젯 프린팅 시스템을 개발하였다. 목표한 위치에 정확하게 이미지를 패터닝 하기 위한 프린팅 시스템의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어를 개발 하였다. 이를 위하여 패턴 카메라와 선택된 노즐 간의 거리를 구할 수 있는 소프트웨어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 또한 AutoCAD 의 dxf 파일을 이용하여 XY 스테이지를 동시에 움직여서 프린팅할 수 있는 벡터 프린팅 방법을 개발하였다. 또 다른 프린팅 방법으로 비트맵 이미지를 이용하여 복잡한 이미지를 출력할 수 있는 래스터 프린팅 방법을 개발하였고, CAD 를 이용한 래스터 프린팅 방법과 그 때 생기는 기술적인 문제들을 기술하였다.
