Printable process for forming a multi-layered gas barrier laminate film
The present invention employs the printable process to fabricate a multi-layered laminate gas barrier film. According to an embodiment of the present invention, after providing a plastic substrate, a first organic layer is printed with a first pattern on the plastic substrate. A first inorganic layer is printed to the first organic layer, filling up openings within the first pattern of the first organic layer and covering a surface of the first organic layer. A second organic layer is printed with a second pattern on the first inorganic layer. A second inorganic layer is printed to the second organic layer, filling up openings within the second pattern of the second organic layer and covering a surface of the second organic layer.
