ABSTRACTA simple idea is proposed for the realization of organic photovoltaic devices on flexible substrates. According to this, a poly(ethylene terephtalate) layer (Mylar), transparent, a few micrometers thick and completely flexible, works as mechanical support. It is an insulating material, which has good mechanical and dielectric properties and, most important, it is completely transparent to ultraviolet light. For this reason it could be suitable for being used as transparent supporting layer for large area photovoltaic devices. Furthermore, its mechanical properties allow to employ it in a roll-to-roll lamination procedure that could give rise to low cost extended films carrying solar cells on the surface.

Printing Processes

Recently low cost production is vital to produce printed electronics by roll to roll manufacturing printing process like a flexographic. Flexographic has a high speed technique which commonly used for printing onto large area flexible substrates. However, the minimum feature sizes achieved with roll to roll printing processes, such as flexographic is in the range of fifty microns. The main contribution of this limitation is photopolymer flexographic plate unable to be produced finer micron range due to film that made by Laser Ablation Mask (LAMs) technology not sufficiently robust and consequently at micron ranges line will not be formed on the printing plate. Hence, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used instead of photopolymer. Printing trial had been conducted and multiple solid lines successfully printed for below fifty microns line width with no interference between two adjacent lines of the printed images.
