Display production has been a central focus of the printed electronics community. Cost pressure make it a perfect target for economic printing technologies like inkjet. However, in view of the ambitious goals, inkjet technology is cornered by challenges it was not designed to resolve. Above all, its printing resolution, traditionally only judged by the human eye, is simply unsuitable to meet most targets of the display industry. Electrohydrodynamic printing represents an avenue to resolve this issue and Scrona present the first printhead that combines the force of EHD with a truly scalable nozzle platform, to also bring along economics.
