One of the major advantages of organic electronics is the solution processability that enables the fabrications of devices by various printing methods. Screen printing which is known as one of the most well-developed printing methods, has been widely applied in the fabrication of electronic devices. This review mainly introduce the composition of screen printing, the tuning factors that could alter the screen printing’s precision and the applications of screen printing in flexible electronic devices, including field-effect transistors, solar cells, and organic light emitting diodes. Finally, the difficulties and challenges of screen printing in printed flexible electronic devices are summurized.
