From Carestream Tollcoating

The majority of roll-to-roll coating projects use "blanket" or uniform continuous high precision coatings. Products ranging from imaging films to battery membranes to optical display device components typically employ blanket coatings where exceptional thickness control is required and there are no intended patterns.

There are an increasing amount of applications that utilize patterning of coatings, including printed electronics components, displays, touchscreen input devices, photovoltaics, battery structures, RFIDs and sensors. Various patterning techniques exist to meet a wide range of project requirements on conventional roll-to-roll coating assets. Each method offers unique capabilities depending on the variables required for the final application.
