Tiivistelmä
Printed intelligence technology refers to products and systems that are produced using traditional printing methods and that are able to communicate or react with the user, environment or other products and systems. The technology provides the foundations of innovative products such as printed OLEDs (organic light emitting device), electroluminescent displays, organic photovoltaics, thin film batteries and disposable sensors.
This study presents research on different printing techniques in relation to their advantages and disadvantages in production of intelligent applications. Analysis of the studied literature was conducted and the findings were used as guidelines in creating an interactive campus map in an office room setting. Experiments on producing the map circuitry were done using inkjet technology and nanosilver ink. The campus locations were designed to be represented by electroluminescence light emitting elements. The light components were produced with screen printing and hand-held deposition methods. The methods and results of the performed experiments are discussed and evaluated in this thesis.
As a result, it was concluded that conventional printing techniques can be used for manufacturing of functional printouts such as interactive maps and that more research and development is needed in order to reduce the production costs of intelligent applications.
