Abstract

This paper illustrates the use of a high resolution form of rubber stamping, known as microcontact printing (μCP), for patterning plastic active matrix drive circuitry designed for electronic paper. The high resolution (∼1 [.mu]m) of the printed elements, the large area coverage (∼1 sq. ft.) and the good electrical performance of these systems suggest that the methods, materials and processing sequences may be attractive for realistic applications of plastic electronics.
