Inkjet printing, traditionally used in graphics, has been widely investigated as a valuable tool in the preparation of functional surfaces and devices. This review focuses on the use of inkjet printing technology for the manufacturing of different optical elements and photonic devices. The presented overview mainly surveys work done in the fabrication of micro-optical components such as microlenses, waveguides and integrated lasers; the manufacturing of large area light emitting diodes displays, liquid crystal displays and solar cells; as well as the preparation of liquid crystal and colloidal crystal based photonic devices working as lasers or optical sensors. Special emphasis is placed on reviewing the materials employed as well as in the relevance of inkjet in the manufacturing of the different devices showing in each of the revised technologies, main achievements, applications and challenges.

“…Monodispersed colloidal spheres can self-assemble into highly ordered structures, which have a variety of applications in color displaying and chemical sensing (Cui et al, 2009;Gu, 2014;Hou et al, 2014;Shen et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2005Wang et al, , 2012. Particularly, ordered arrays of colloidal nanoparticles are interesting as photonic crystals that can be used for manipulating light in optical devices, full-color displays, biological sensors, and other fields (Liu et al, 2014;Shen et al, 2012).…”

“…Another important aspect of photonic crystals is that they can be used in various chemical sensors because of their light-inhibiting property (Gu, 2014;Hou et al, 2014;Shen et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012). Light with wavelength corresponding to the stopband of the photonic crystal will be inhibited to pass through the photonic material, thus the photonic crystal exhibits strong reflection in a specific wavelength (Wang et al, 2012).…”

“…Light with wavelength corresponding to the stopband of the photonic crystal will be inhibited to pass through the photonic material, thus the photonic crystal exhibits strong reflection in a specific wavelength (Wang et al, 2012). On the one hand, the stopbands of the photonic crystals are used to enhance the fluorescence signals of the detecting chemicals (Hou et al, 2014), and on the other hand, the position of the stopbands could be changed by specific chemicals through the introduction of responsive materials into the photonic crystals (Wang et al, 2012).

“…Gu (2014) fabricated a kind of responsive colloidal photonic crystal patterns with multicolor shifting properties by inkjet-printing colloidal microsphere inks ( Figure 5.2(b)). By introducing phase-transition polymer poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) into the microsphere latex inks, Wang et al (2012) fabricated a water vapor sensor with a fastest response of about 1.2 s. Importantly, this responsiveness could be immediately recognized by naked eyes, which is favorable for naked eye detection.…”

Polymers coupled with photonic crystals (PCs) structure present a new class of periodic dielectric media that can provide novel ways to manipulate and control light. In this article, we highlight the development of polymers as colloidal PCs, composite, and three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous PCs and recent achievements in the field of photonic nanostructures and their applications, which include displays, optical devices, chemical and biological sensors, are also overviewed.
