Abstract
Recently, developments of organic electronics has attracted attention in both academic and industrial researches. Because of flexibilities of organic electronics, different applications, such as monitors, E-Paper, organic solar cells, and RFID tags, etc., have been designed and implemented. And market potentials have been valued as one of the next generation technologies. Based on these technological advancements, different kinds of fabrication methods have been developed. In these fabrication methods, inkjet-printing technologies are intriguing because of large-area and low-cost processes. As a consequence, this thesis aims to demonstrate potentials of inkjet-printing and printable sensing technologies for organic-electronic applications. To address the development of printing technologies, in this thesis, both multi-nozzle printing system and multi-printable gas sensor are presented. In multi-nozzle printing development, a control firmware of multi-nozzle piezoelectric head is designed and implemented. In multi-printable gas sensor, on the other hand, two kinds of printable sensing materials are implemented and tested with different kinds of gases. Based on these achievements, the potential of printable organic sensing module can be demonstrated.
