Printed Electronics

In the field of printed, flexible and organic electronics, KROENERT focuses on applications for coating, printing and laminating functional layers onto flexible substrates.

The aim of applications in organic and printed electronics is to achieve specific attributes with functional coating media such as:

  • Electroluminesc
  • Electrochromic layers
  • Organic as well as chemically reactive layers

A prerequisite in the application of functional layers is high precision, as all printed structures must be completely closed to guarantee electrical conductivity. This distinguishes printed electronics from simple graphic print media.

Examples of applications

NFC

Label for contactless transmission of data by means of near-field communication for e.g. packaging

Circuit boards 

Printing of conductive media for flexible printed circuits or circuits

RFID

Printing of conductive media or application of structures for selective metallisation for RFID antennas

 

Smart systems

Coating of electroluminescent, electrochromic and reactive layers (e.g. PDLC) for smart applications such as switchable films between glass panes (transparent/opacque) and luminescent wallpapers

Intelligent textiles

Applications in the field of smart textiles can be found for intelligent clothing with sensor technology for sports and medicine as well as in the field of safety lighting
