Inkjet printing developer Notion Systems announced a strategic partnership with the Fraunhofer IAP institute to co-develop EHD printing technologies for the display industry. The initial focus of this partnership is to develop new materials and optimizing printing processes for OLED and QLED printing.
EHD utilizes electric fields to precisely transfer inks or other liquids onto substrates. Standard inkjet printing is limited in the deposition resolution, but HED enables very high precision and very small droplet sizes.
Notion has been closely collaborating with Scrona, developer of EHD print heads. The two companies are developing and building an EHD inkjet system called n.jet EHD.> The two companies combine Notion's expertise in developing and manufacturing high-end printing systems for functional materials with Scrona's novel multi-nozzle EHD MEMS print heads.
