Background
With the continuous progress of the development of electronic components in China, the industrial chain of the electronic components is continuously perfected and develops towards the direction of small size and miniaturization. It is an urgent need to realize a printed electrode having an ultra-thin thickness and a high pattern uniformity. Meanwhile, as a main direction for new energy development, solar cells are required to have ultra-fine line widths and high-pattern-consistency printed electrodes as the conversion rate is increased along with the development of industrial technologies.
The existing screen printing plate has the defects that the major silk screens are imported from Japan and Europe and America, the technology is slowly upgraded and gradually enters the bottleneck stage of the process, and the development requirements of domestic electronic components and solar cells are difficult to meet; and the silk screen has weaving net knots, and the consistency of the printed pattern is poor due to the effect of the silk screen on printing ink or slurry in the printing process. However, the conventional electroforming steel mesh is difficult to break through the ultra-fine lines with the line width less than 20um due to the limitation of the process.

The main content of the invention comprises: a variable-opening printing screen comprises a metal screen frame and auxiliary screen cloth stretched in the metal screen frame, wherein a window is arranged in the auxiliary screen cloth, a supporting layer and a graphic layer are arranged in the window through a composite layer, the graphic layer is arranged in the same plane of the supporting layer or on one side or two sides of the supporting layer, the supporting layer is composed of a plurality of metal screen wires, the opening ratio is defined as the ratio of the sum of the areas formed by all adjacent metal screen wires of the supporting layer to the area of the whole supporting layer, and the opening ratio range of the supporting layer is set to be 30% -100%.
Preferably, the variable opening areas of the support layer correspond to the pattern areas of the pattern layer one by one, and the variable opening areas are 10-100 micrometers wider than the pattern areas.
Preferably, the supporting layer is made of one of stainless steel mesh cloth, tungsten steel mesh cloth, laser steel sheet and electroforming nickel sheet.
Preferably, the material of the graphic layer is one of polymer and electroformed nickel.
Preferably, the polymer material is one or a combination of several of PET, PE, PA, PI, PU, PVC, PP, PTFE, PMMA, PS and EVOH.
The invention also discloses a manufacturing method of the printing screen plate with the variable opening, which comprises the following steps:
s1, stretching a net: stretching and fixing the stainless steel mesh cloth or the tungsten steel mesh cloth on the mesh frame by a preset tension to form a composite mesh or a full steel wire mesh;
s2, yarn removing: fixing the high-viscosity adhesive tape with the hollowed-out patterns on the screen cloth to expose the printing pattern area, and removing all or part of the set mesh wires in the printing pattern area while scanning the printing pattern area by using laser equipment to form a supporting layer with a variable opening;
s3, film pasting: attaching a high polymer material to the surface of the supporting layer in a hot pressing or coating mode, and combining the high polymer graphic layer and the supporting layer into a whole in a thermosetting or photocuring mode;
s4, laser: and cutting the polymer pattern layer by laser to form a printing pattern.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the invention can design the same opening according to the shape of the pattern, avoids the net knot difference of the traditional silk screen and realizes the height consistency of each pattern of the pattern layer;
2. the invention can also be designed into different openings of different patterns according to the shapes of the patterns, thereby realizing multiple thicknesses by one-time printing;
3. the invention cancels the processes of glue coating, exposure and development required by the traditional screen plate processing, and saves materials and manpower;
4. the laser is used for replacing the yellow light process of the traditional electroforming steel mesh to form the pattern process, and high-yield fine patterns can be realized.
