Abstract

Recently, a low-environmental-load method called “printed electronics” has attracted much attention. By this method, electronic devices are manufactured on polymer substrates using high-volume and high-speed printing technology, similar to printing of newspapers or magazines. Since the electric components are mounted on flexible substrates, printed electronic devices are rather lightweight and flexible to be carried around, offering high mobility. Moreover, the method of printed electronics enables the production of electronic devices of various sizes-from a tiny palm-sized device to a large-area device meant to be put up on a building wall, for example, e-books, solar cells, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lightings, digital signatures, RFID tags, and health care sensors. Cellulose nanofiber sheets or paper have great potential as PE substrates because they have high transparency (similar to glass and plastics), high thermal stability (similar to glass), and high foldability (similar to traditional paper). In this article, the author introduced some applications of cellulosic paper in the electronic devices.
