Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, roll-to-roll-printed-electronics has attracted attention to manufacture flexible devices such as polymer electrolyte fuel cell or lithium-ion secondary battery. The process can mass-produce flexible devices because the process continuously forms electric circuit by dropping conductive ink on film which is transported by many rollers. However, the process has not been put to practical use because there are many problems in this process. As the example of these defects which are occurring in the process, there are trough and wrinkling. If these defects occur in the process, performance of formed circuit significantly decreases. Consequently, we need to prevent defects. Therefore, in this study, we constructed preventing mechanism of these defects by image recognition technique.
