43.1: Distinguished Paper: Design Parameters of Roll Printing Process for TFT-LCD Fabrication

Recently breakthrough technology for the low cost process in TFT-LCD and new process development for integrating it with flexible display fabrication has been studied importantly. As a way of achieving this goal, we have investigated roll printing process with etch-resist material as non-photolithographic patterning technique. We characterized the properties of patterns formed with roll printing process, derived the design concepts, and found the best way to fabricate the panel by this process. Thus, we were made the prototype of 15" XGA TFT-LCD panel by using all printing processes.
