DESIGN OF A RECYCLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device is described that is designed to be more easily recycled at its end of life while maintaining usability during its lifetime. The electronic device includes a first substrate, an encapsulation layer, and a set of electronics disposed there between. One or more delamination layers cover at least one side, preferably both sides, of the set of electronics to separate the set of electronics from at least one, preferably both, of the first substrate and the encapsulation layer. The set of electronics, covered by the one or more delamination layers, is encapsulated between the encapsulation layer and the first substrate. At least one of the delamination layers includes a set of passages filled with material of the encapsulation layer forming a set of interconnections between the encapsulation layer and the first substrate.
CIRCUIT-FORMING METHOD AND CIRCUIT-FORMING APPARATUS
A circuit-forming method includes a first forming step of forming a resin layer including a recessed portion by a first discharge device configured to discharge a curable resin, and a second forming step of forming an electrode inside the recessed portion by a second discharge device, which is configured to discharge a conductive paste, by referring to a first mark formed by the first discharge device. A circuit-forming apparatus includes a first discharge device configured to form a resin layer including a recessed portion by discharging a curable resin, and a second discharge device configured to form an electrode inside the recessed portion by discharging a conductive paste by referring to a first mark formed by the first discharge device.
