Printed electroluminescent screen as interior decor

Namen diplomskega dela je bil natisniti motiv, ki bo v enem delu vključeval elektroluminiscentni zaslon. Pri tem bi se uporabili dve tehniki tiska, UV tisk za večji del dizajna in sitotisk za del, kjer se bo uporabljal zaslon. V teoretičnem delu smo podrobno opisali tiskano elektroniko in elektroluminiscentne zaslone, njihovo zgodovino, kaj to sploh je, na katerih področjih se uporabljajo in kako delujejo. Prav tako smo v teoretičnem delu predstavili tudi uporabljene tehnologije tiska, to sta UV kapljični tisk in sitotisk. Vsako tehnologijo smo na kratko opisali, pri UV tisku smo razložili postopek UV utrjevanja, pri sitotisku pa celoten postopek tiska. Sledila je še raziskava uporabe in razširjenosti dekorativnega tiska v interierju ter ponudba le-tega na današnjem trgu. V eksperimentalnem delu smo predstavili uporabljene materiale, kemikalije in stroje, ter prikazali postopek tiskanja motiva z vključenim elektroluminiscentnim zaslonom na izbran material. Opisali smo ves potek izdelave motiva s poudarkom na delu, ki vključuje elektroluminiscentni zaslon, od same priprave na tisk, izdelave tiskovne forme za sitotisk ter celoten postopek tiska. Za uspešno izvedbo smo morali izbrati ustrezna sita in tiskarske barve, odtise na tiskovnem materialu pa dodatno ovrednotili. Analizirali smo tako tiskovno kakovost kot kakovost delovanja elektroluminiscentnega zaslona. Na koncu smo vse rezultate povzeli in omenili možne nastale probleme in njihove rešitve. Rezultat diplomskega dela je natisnjen dizajn, namenjen uporabi kot dekor v interierju, z dodatno natisnjenim elektroluminiscentnim zaslonim, ki nadgradi končni izgled in popestri uporabo dekorja.The purpose of the diploma thesis was to print a design that would include an electroluminescent screen on one part. Two printing techniques would be used, UV printing for most of the design and screen printing for the part where the electroluminescent screen will be used. In the theoretical part, we wrote about printed electronics and electroluminescent screens, their history, what it is, where is it used and how it works. In the theoretical part, we presented used printing technologies, such as UV and screen printing. Each technology was briefly describedin UV printing, we explained the UV curing process and the whole printing process in screen printing. This was followed by a study of the use and widespread of decorative printing in the interior and what it offers in today\u27s market. In the experimental part, we presented the materials, chemicals and used machines and described the process of printing a design with an electroluminescent screen on the selected material. We have described the entire process of making the design with an emphasis on the part that includes the electroluminescent screen, from printing preparations to the production of a printing form for screen printing and the entire printing process. For the successful performance, we had to choose the appropriate sieve, and the prints on the printing material were additionally evaluated. We analysed both the print quality and the performance quality of the electroluminescent screen. Finally, we summarized all the results and mentioned the possible problems and solutions. The result of the diploma thesis is a printed design intended for use as interior decor, with additionally printed electroluminescent screens that upgrade the final look and enrich the use of decor
