Abstract

See full text

An electronic component assembly comprises a printed component structure comprising at least one of a semiconducting ink, an insulating ink and a conducting ink deposited onto a substrate. The component structure defining at least one contact area, with a connecting lead disposed against or adjacent to the contact area. At least one layer of electrically insulating material encloses the component structure. At least one of the substrate and the layer of electrically insulating material comprises packaging material. The component structure can be printed on a substrate such as paper or another soft material, which is secured to a layer of insulating packaging material such as polyethylene. Instead, the substrate can be the insulating packaging material itself. Variations using hard and soft substrates are possible, and various examples of electronic component assembly are disclosed.
