OLED(Organic Light Emitting Device)는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)의 뒤를 잇는 차세대 디스플레이의 선두주자로서 자체발광형이기 때문에 백라이트 등의 보조광원이 불필요하며, 구동전압이 낮고 넓은 시야각과 빠른 응답속도 등의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 플렉서블 기판을 사용할 수 있어 차세대 디스플레이인 플렉서블 디스플레이에 적합하다. 플렉서블한 디스플레이를 만들기 위해서 플라스틱 기판에 OLED 물질을 사용하여 기존에 무겁고, 깨지기 쉬우며, 변형이 불가능한 유리로 만든 소자 보다 더 가볍고 깨지지 않고 변형이 가능한 플렉서블 디스플레이를 제작 할 수 있다. 그러나 플라스틱 기판은 매우 큰 투습율을 가지고 있어 OLED소자에 적용시키면 공기 중의 수분이나 산소와 접촉이 많아져 쉽게 산화되어 소자의 효율 및 수명이 짧아진다. 또한 OLED에 사용되는 유기물도 산소나 수분에 의해 특성이 급격히 저하되기 때문에 산소 및 수분의 차단은 필수적이다. 이러한 단점을 최소화하기 위해서 PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)로 만든 SiON(Silicon Oxynitride) 박막을 차단막(Passivation layer)으로 사용하였다. PECVD를 이용하여 SiON 박막을 증착시킬 때 RF Power, 공정압력, Distance의 변화에 따른 박막의 결정화도, 수분투습도, 광투과도 등의 특성을 FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Ellipsometer, UV-visible Spectrophotometer, MOCON를 이용하여 SiON 박막의 특성을 고찰하였다.

This study concerns the distribution and dependence of moisture content(MC) in wood for same thickness in different vapor transmission conditions. The specimens were disks of 70-mm in diameter and 20-mm in thickness from quartersawn lumber of Korean red pine(Pinus densiflora S. et Z.). The experiments were conducted in ten different conditions on the difference of the vapor pressures by the JIS Z-0208. The distribution of moisture content in wood can be illustrated by two straight lines intersecting at the point of about ten percent Me. On the other hand, when more or less than about 10 percent, the distribution of the Me can be illustrated by one straight lines. Therefore, it is considered that the values of 10 percent Me has no relation to the wood and experimental conditions. It's assumed that 10 percent is the boundary point at which the moisture sorption energy changes. In a previous study, diffusion coefficient is almost constant with no relation to a thickness of the woods for the constant experimental conditions. But, in this study, it seems that diffusion coefficient from the moisture gradient vary with the Me of wood in different vapor transmission conditions.

In general, the behavior of moisture transmission is estimated by vapor permeability or vapor transmission resistance, but its values obtained by experiments do not have great adaptability for practical situations because of changes in the experimental conditions. This fact is why only theoretical discussions have advanced. Thus, the fundamental study of the moisture transmission phenomenon has been treated lightly. Here, as the first step toward the basic research of moisture transmission, the amount of moisture transmission and the moisture distribution in specimens were investigated. The experiment was conducted in a steady state, and the moisture distribution was measured by slicing and weighing the specimens. From the examination of the vapor transmission resistance, the phenomenon of moisture transmission was dealt with devide the moisture transfer on the wood surface and moisture diffusion in wood. The following results were obtained. 1) The phenomenon of moisture transmission should be approached by its division into moisture transfer on the wood surface and moisture diffusion in the wood because the positive values of vapor transmission resistance exist in the extrapolation of thickness 0mm. 2) The distribution of moisture in wood can be illustrated by two straight lines intersecting at the point of nine percent moisture content : namely, diffusion coefficients have two constant values at moisture contents below and above nine percent. The shape of the distribution curve of moisture content is similar irrespective of the wood thickness. On the other hand, when the moisture contents on both sides was more than nine percent, the distribution of the moisture content could be illustrated by one straight lines. 3) The amount of moisture movement is determined by the moisture gradient in wood. 4) Coefficients of the moisture transfer depend on the thickness of the specimens.

In this paper, the inorganic-organic thin film encapsulation layer was newly adopted to protect the organic layer from moisture and oxygen. Using the electron beam, Sputter and Spin-Coater system, the various kinds of inorganic and organic thin-films were deposited onto the Ethylene Terephthalate(PET) and their interface properties between organic and inorganic layer were investigated Results indicates that the SiON/PI/SiON/PI/PET barrier coatings have high potential for flexible organic light-emitting diode(OLED) application.

Various diatomic inorganic films and their composite films are packed as passivation films covering Ca cells on glass substrates by using an electron-beam evaporation technique. When these Ca cells are exposed to an ambient atmosphere, the water vapor penetrating through the passivation layers is absorbed in the Ca cells, resulting in a gradual progress of transparency in the Ca cells, which can be represented by changes of the optical transmittance in the visible range. Compared with the saturation times for the Ca cells to become completely transparent in the atmosphere, the protection effects of water vapor are estimated for various passivation films. The composite films consisting silicon oxide($SiO_2$) and tin oxide($SnO_2$) or zinc oxide(ZnO) are found to show a superior protection effect of water vapor as compared with diatomic inorganic films. Also, the main factors affecting the permeation of water vapor through the oxide films are found to be the polarizability and the packing density.

Effect of direct addition of $CaCl_2$ into sodium alginate film-making solution and immersion of alginate films into $CaCl_2$ solutions on tensile strength (TS), percentage elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) of the films were investigated. TS of alginate films prepared by both methods increased. E of $CaCl_2-added$ films did not change significantly (P>0.05), whereas that of $CaCl_2-immersion$ films decreased significantly (p<0.05). WVP of films prepared by both methods decreased significantly, but the effect was more significant in the $CaCl_2-immersion$ films. Water resistance was not changed in the $CaCl_2-added$ films, whreras increased significantly in $CaCl_2-immersion$ films (p<0.05). Properties of alginate films depend on the concentration of $CaCl_2$ treatments in both methods, and they also depend on treatment time in the immersion method.

In this paper, we have fabricated $SiO_2$ oxidation thin films by HDP-CVD(high density plasma-chemical vapor deposition) method for passivation layer or barrier layer of OLED(organic light emitting diode). We have control and estimate the deposition rate and relative index characteristics with process parameters and get optimized conditions. They are gas flow rate($SiH_4:O_2$=30:60[sccm]), 70 [mm] distance from source to substrate and no-bias. The WVTR(water vapor transmission rate) is 2.2 [$g/m^2$_day]. Therefore fabricated thin film can not be applied as passivation layer or barrier layer of OLED.

In this study, we investigated the WVTRs Properties of inorganic thin composite films(ITCFs) to be newly adopted as the passivation layer of the OLED to replace the inorganic compound material Because we thought that inorganic compound materials were limited to enhance the barrier property of thin film. So, ITCFs were fabricated by mixing the cooperated material with the base material. And then, ITCFs were deposited onto the plastic substrate using the electron beam evaporation system and the water vapor transmission rates(WVTRs) were measured using the Mocon equipment. As a result of the WVTR measurement, we could analyze the WVTR values for various ITCFs. ITCFs had a remarkably lower value than the inorganic compound film. Through the analysis of thin film, we can understand the crystal structure and mixed amount. Therefore, ITCFs can be used as the inorganic passivation layers of OLED with the inorganic compound film.
