Abstract
In this paper, we analyzed the effects of doctoring process on the patterns of Ag ink in gravure off-set printing. The parameters of doctoring process were the angle and the pressure, which was represented by the depth of blade movement to the gravure roll, of doctor blade to the surface of gravure roll, and the angle of patterns engraved on the gravure roll to the doctor blade moving direction. The proper parameters were extracted for the fine patterns and they were 15 mm for the pressure, <TEX>$60^{\circ}$</TEX> for the blade angle. And the angle of patterns with respect to the blade movement should be less than <TEX>$40^{\circ}$</TEX> for the best results. The gravure off-set printing with the above parameters was carried out to print gate electrodes and scan bus lines of OTFT-backplane for e-paper. The line width of <TEX>$50{\mu}m$</TEX> was successfully obtained. The thickness of electrodes was <TEX>$2.5{\mu}m$</TEX> and the surface roughness was <TEX>$0.65{\mu}m$</TEX> and the sheet resistance was <TEX>$15.8{\Omega}/{\Box}$</TEX>.
