The continuous printing of electronics for displays or solar cells depends on a rapid drying of the surface and good conductivity of the silver inks. A newly developed infrared module from Heraeus Noblelight GmbH, headquartered in Hanau, Germany, achieves this in significantly less than one second (0.32 secs) and is consequently reported to be almost 2000 times faster than conventional drying techniques.
Thin Film Electronics, a global leader in printed electronics and smart systems based in Oslo, Norway, has announced that Woodford Investment Management has agreed to acquire 120M new shares in the company in a private placement totaling 42M US-Dollars.
“Printing as an integral part of the production process” will be the main theme of the technical presentations during the third Advanced Functional and Industrial Printing (AFIP) conference, organised by the European Association for Printing Manufacturers in screen and digital printing (ESMA) on 2-3 March 2016 at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany.
