Project in printed and flexible electronics

DP Patterning is participating in a new project in printed and flexible electronics

The project, R2R-HET – Roll-to-Roll Hybrid Printed Electronics Manufacturing, aims to explore how the production of printed and flexible electronics can be made more sustainable and efficient.

The goal is to develop and validate a concept that creates a platform for Sweden’s production capacity. This platform will allow the printing and/or dry phase patterning production process and the assembly of traditional electronics to occur on the same production line and substrate roll. The printed and flexible electronics industry currently faces challenges in achieving growth and scalability. One identified challenge is the bottle neck of efficient large-scale production methods for assembling electronic components on flexible substrates.

The project is led by RISE (RISE is an independent, Swedish, State-owned research institute). DP Patterning, along with the other project partners (listed below), will investigate the potential for creating and using sustainable flexible substrates and R2R production methods for assembling electronic components.

The project parties:

• RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
• Actia Nordic 
• Mycronic
• DP Patterning
• Epishine
• Beneli
• Ligna Energy
• Magna Electronics Sweden
• Linköping Science Park

Roman Armgarth, PhD, COO, and R&D Manager, serves as the project leader for DP Patterning in the project.
