1. A method of manufacturing an electronic device comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an ink-jet printing system comprising a print head and a transfer member;
b) providing a substrate having a first side;
c) dispensing a plurality of ink drops from the print head to a surface of the transfer member forming an ink pattern corresponding to at least a first component of the electronic device, the plurality of ink drops comprising at least one of a conductive material, and a semiconductive material; and
d) transferring the ink pattern from the transfer member to the first side of the substrate, thereby forming the first component of the electronic device. e) dispensing a second plurality of ink drops from the print head to the surface of the transfer member forming a second ink pattern corresponding to at least a second component of the electronic device, the second plurality of ink drops comprising at least one of the conductive material, an insulating material and the semiconductive material; and
f) transferring the second ink pattern from the transfer member to the first side of the substrate, thereby forming the second component of the electronic device in contact with the first component.
