December 19, 2024 – Notion Systems GmbH

Notion Systems GmbH, a leading supplier of industrial inkjet printing systems, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP announce their strategic partnership for the further development of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing.

The aim of the co-operation is to expand the possibilities of EHD printing in the field of new display technologies and to open new applications. By combining Notion Systems' expertise in inkjet printing technology and the Fraunhofer IAP's extensive research expertise in polymer research and nanotechnology, innovative solutions to produce high-precision and functional materials are to be developed.

EHD printing is a new technology that utilizes electric fields to precisely transfer inks or other liquids onto substrates. In contrast to conventional printing methods, EHD printing enables the creation of fine droplets, resulting in higher resolution and accuracy. This technology is particularly useful for applications in electronics, biomedicine and materials science, as it enables the production of microstructures.

Initial joint projects will focus on the development of new printing materials and the optimization of printing processes in the field of OLED/QLED printing. The aim is to further improve the technology for industrial display applications and open up new markets.

Dr Michael Doran, CEO at Notion Systems, underlines the importance of this collaboration: ‘We are convinced that EHD printing will shape the future of printing technologies and are very pleased to have the Fraunhofer IAP with its extensive research expertise at our side to further develop this technology’.

Dr Armin Wedel, Head of Research at the Fraunhofer IAP, emphasises the importance of the collaboration: ‘In order to transfer this groundbreaking printing technology from the research sector into new industrial fields of application, it is crucial to have a trustworthy industrial partner at our side. We are therefore all the more pleased to be working with Notion Systems. Together, we are convinced that we can significantly advance the research and development of EHD printing.’
