Flexible printed electronics is an emerging technology in which organic or inorganic electronic devices are printed on a flexible or ductile plastic or thin metal substrate. With the unique flexibility or ductility, and efficient low-cost manufacturing process, flexible printed electronics has wide application potential in information, energy, medical, defence, and other industries. Compared with other microelectronics industries, both domestic and foreign companies are at an initial stage in flexible printing. Domestic companies have obvious competitive advantages, and the era of globalization of flexible electronics industry is approaching.
