InnoPhysics B.V. is a startup company with a background in plasma technology and digital printing. InnoPhysics B.V. is developing a Digital-on-Demand PlasmaPrint hardware solution that enables software patterned surface functionalization, etching and deposition of functional coatings on thin (plastic) substrates.
This proprietary technology solution operates on a large variety of plastic substrates in ambient conditions, at room temperature and it provides flexibility in patterning, i.e. mask-less, which is especially important during the prototyping phase, personalized product solutions and versioning of single products for the flexible and printed organic electronics market. Printed electronics is a fast growing market with a large variety of different applications such as RFID tags, organic and polymer LEDs and solar cells
In a joint effort Holst Centre and InnoPhysics have shown the feasibility of surface tension contrast patterning and printing as a valuable technology for the production of energy efficient OLEDs. This successful concept validation has led to a collaboration between Holst Centre and InnoPhysics to further develop the surface tension contrast patterning and printing method and explore a number of new processes to create patterns of functional materials on flexible substrates using the InnoPhysics technology.
Currently, InnoPhysics is developing a PlasmaPrint kit integratable with existing table-top R&D print platforms.
