Abstract Inkjet printing technology has been widely used in patterned electrodes of thin film transistors (TFTs) owing to its low cost, eco-friendliness, high efficiency and direct writing. With the rapid development of high-density, large-size, flexible and low-power consumption electronic devices, higher requirements are put forward for the quality of printed electrodes. In this article, the conductive ink, inkjet printing technology and the process optimization of printed electrodes are summarized, and the existing problems in the application of printing electrodes for TFTs and the future research direction are pointed out.
