Abstract
Recently, flexible optical devices have triggered booming developments in various research fields, including display equipment, sensors, energy conversion, and so on, due to their high compatibility, portability, and wearability. With the advantages of strong design ability, high precision, and high integration, printing technologies have been recognized as promising methods to realize flexible optical devices. In this Perspective, recent progress on printing strategies for fabricating flexible optical devices are introduced systematically. First, through adjusting the composition of inks, selecting flexible substrates, and controlling external stimulation, fabrication of flexible optical devices based on inkjet printing is illustrated. Then, flexible optical devices fabricated by template-induced printing, 3D printing, slot-die printing, and screen printing are summarized. Finally, prospects and future development directions based on printing technology for flexible optical devices are proposed.
