In order to understand the doping control for the belt source evaporation, the Alq3 and NPB were codeposited on the Ta plate to re-sublimate. The very slow heating $(0.1^{\circ}C/s)$ of the Ta plate shows the separated rate signals of Alq3 and NPB sublimated from the Alq3-mixed NPB organic film on Ta plate. The ratio of the vapor rates of Alq3 and NPB was measured as same as that of each sublimation rates. Therefore, the doping control of the belt source evaporation is of the ratio of the vaporization rates of host and dopants.

An electric field was applied to a conductive layer to induce Joule heating in order to carry out the crystallization of amorphous silicon. Polycrystalline silicon was produced through a solid state transformation within the range of a millisecond. Uniformly distributed grains were obtained due to enormously high heating rate.

Excimer-laser-based crystallization is ideallysuited for forming crystalline Si films on glass substrates for use in active-matrix displays. In this paper, we will report on recent and significant technical advances in light sources and beam delivery systems targeted at enabling ultra-uniform mura-free low-temperature polycrystalline silicon active-matrix backplanes while simultaneously lowering production costs and increasing throughput.

The maximum current level in organic light emitting diodes (OLED) panel influences the maximum pixel luminance, the width of $V_{DD}$ lines, the maximum power consumption and the lifetime. We propose an algorithm that limits the overall current without any palpable image artifacts, and therefore, improve panel parameters by program.

Low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology has continued to mature with the passing of each year since LTPS mass production began. The integration of complex circuits has become possible with advances in microprocessing, leading to the realization of panels with highly advanced functions. At the same time, efforts have been made to meet market demands for lower costs, thereby boosting competitive strength. Today, LTPS-TFT LCDs have become standard equipment for the monitors of digital still cameras, and inroads are being made into the massive cellular phone market. Micro displays such as electronic viewfinders, which were previously only possible with high-temperature polysilicon technology, can now also be made with LTPS, thus expanding the scope of the technology. AMOLED displays using the LTPS-TFT as a back plane are also approaching the stage of industrialization. The hidden potential for the OLED to replace the familiar LCD has prompted Widespread anticipation for this emerging technology. This paper reflects on the history of LTPS technology, then looks forward to its future prospects and suggests a variety of potential fields of application.

A new pixel circuit for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes (AMOLEDs), based on the polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (Poly-Si TFTs), was proposed and verified by SMART SPICE simulation. One driving and six switching TFTs and one storage capacitor were used to improve display image uniformity without any additional control signal line. The proposed pixel circuit compensates an inevitable threshold voltage variation of Poly-Si TFTs and also compensates the degradation of OLED at low power supply voltage($V_{DD}$). The simulation results show that the proposed pixel circuit successfully compensates the variation of OLED driving current within 0.8% compared with 20% of the conventional pixel circuit.

We report a novel structure for a full-color AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) eliminating the patterning process of a blue emitting layer. The patterning of the three primary colors, RGB, is a key technology in the OLED fabrication process. Conventional full color AMOLED containing RGB layers includes the three opportunities of the defects to make an accurate position and fine resolution using various technologies such as fine metal mask, ink-jet printing and laser-induced transfer system. We can skip the blue patterning step by simply stacking the blue layer as a common layer to the whole active area after pixelizing two primary colors, RG, in the conventional small molecular OLED structure. The red and green pixel showed equivalent performances without any contribution of the blue emission.

기술의 발전이 비약적으로 성장하면서, 소비자의 요구는 빠르게 변하고 있다. 전자 소자를 응용한 제품 시장은 매해를 거듭할 수록 빠른 속도로 성능을 향상시키고 있다. 이에 따라 디스플레이 시장에서 가장 큰 관심은 작은 화면에서도 높은 해상도를 요구하고, 수광형의 구동방식이 아닌 능동형 구동방식을 갖는 AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitted Diode)를 선호하고 있으며, 빠른 응답속도 기반을 갖는 표시소자를 요구하고 있다. 제품 생산자들의 고민은 기존의 비정질 실리콘 기반의 LCD (Liquid crystal display) 구동소자와 공정을 이용하여 소비자의 욕구에 접근하기가 점점 어려워지고 있다. 최근 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 하는 노력들중에서 산화물 반도체 재료와 이를 이용한 박막 트랜지스터 개발이 큰 관심을 갖고 있다. 최근 InGaZnO 산화물 반도체 재료는 기존의 비정질 실리콘 반도체 재료 보다 높은 전계 이동도(> $10cm^2/V.s$)를 보이고 있으며, 비정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 구조에서 산화물 반도체 재료의 대체만으로 효과가 보일 수 있어서 큰 연구가 진행되어져 왔다. 하지만, InGaZnO 산화물 박막 트랜지스터에 대한 소자를 AMOLED에 적용할 때, 기존의 LTPS (low temperature poly-slicon)에서는 발견되지 않았던 소자의 전계신뢰성과 이동도 한계가 문제로 제기되었다. 또한, Indium이라는 희소원소의 사용은 향후 공정 단가와 희소 물질에 대한 위협등에 의하여 새로운 산화물 반도체 재료에 대한 요구와 관심이 발생하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 기존의 산화물 반도체 재료에 대한 차세대 디스플레이인 AMOLED와 유연 디스플레이에 대한 응용 가능성을 발표할 예정이다. 또한 산화물 반도체 재료의 신뢰성 문제에 대한 해결방법으로 신규 산화물 반도체 재료에 대한 연구 방향과 indium-free 계열을 이용한 저원가 산화물 반도체 연구에 대하여 소개할 예정이다. 앞으로 산화물 반도체 재료에 대한 연구와 응용은 기존의 실리콘 반도체 틀을 벗어난 새로운 응용분야를 열어줄 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있으며, 그 기대에 대한 몇가지 예를 통하여 재료와 소자의 응용 가능성을 논의할 예정이다.

In this paper we fabricated a test panel for AMOLED on glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of the various size of OTFTs and OLEDs and the current driving capability of OTFTs for OLEDs has been investigated. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer. The OTFTs produced the filed effect mobility of 0.3$cm^2$/V.sec and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs consisted of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick, generating green monochrome light. We found that OTFT with channel length of 70${\mu}m$and channel width of over 3.5mm provided the sufficient current to OLED to generate the luminescence of 0.3Cd/$m^2$.

In this paper, the properties of n-channel poly-Si TFTs with different channel widths are reported. Poly-Si fabricated using ELA on glass substrates has high quality as a material for applications such as TFT-LCDs. The fabricated n-channel TFTs have a double stack structure of oxide-nitride which acts as an insulator layer. The results show that the small channel TFTs exhibited a lower $V_{TH}$ and the wide channel TFTs had a higher $I_{DSAT}$. The nchannel poly-Si TFTs with an $I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$ value of more than $10^4$ can be reliable switching devices for AMOLED displays.
