Thin Films: Calcination‐ and Etching‐Free Photolithography of Inorganic Phosphor Films Consisting of Rare Earth Ion Doped Nanoparticles on Plastic Sheets (Adv. Funct. Mater. 22/2011)

Patterned inorganic phosphor films consisting of rare earth ion doped nanoparticles (RE-NPs) can be fabricated on plastic sheets using calcination- and etchingfree photolithography. On page 4264, Satoshi Watanabe and co-workers show how this technique can be used to fabricate patterned RE-NP films, not only on inorganic substrates but also on plastic sheets, with low cost and material consumption.
