Xerox will print circuits with silver ink

The new method can find circuits on plastic and textiles compaq presario r3000 battery. For inkjet printers come to use. The circuit pressure is according to the manufacturer shortly before the market.

Xerox has announced a new technology with which electronic circuits are printed using a special ink on textiles and other materials. The enriched with silver ink can be processed at relatively low temperatures and thus applied to heat sensitive surfaces such as plastic will.

With the Xerox process three layers are printed on the substrate: a semiconductor, a conductor and an compaq presario r4000 battery insulator. The silver ink is the layer that manages the flow.

According to Xerox can be used for the circuit in conventional inkjet printing. The companies have tested the procedure on such devices. You go but believes that would be used in future printer with reels that can handle not only individual slides.

The technology is ready, according to Xerox for testing at outside companies lenovo thinkpad sl400 battery. The market was imminent. "Welcome We have found the magic cure that things such as clothing with computer chips or cheap video games already become a reality. This technological breakthrough in printing technology of the industry, circuits to print on new materials – and at lower cost," says Paul Smith, laboratory manager at Xerox Research Center Canada.

Possible applications for printed circuits, for example, low-cost e-book reader. Obvious, the production of radio-frequency ID chips (RFID panasonic cgr-s602e battery), as used in electronic identity cards or labels.
