본 논문에서는 간단하면서도 수율 높은 유기박막트랜지스터(OTFT)의 소스/드레인 전극 형성을 위한 인쇄공정을 제안하였다. 게이트 유전체인 PVP (poly 4-vinylphenol)에 불소계 화합물을 3000 ppm 첨가하여 표면에너지를 56 $mJ/m^2$에서 45 $mJ/m^2$로 줄이고, 소스/드레인 전극이 형성될 영역은 포토리소그라피로 형상화 한 후 산소 플라즈마로 선택적으로 표면처리하여 표면에너지를 87 $mJ/m^2$로 높임으로써 표면에너지 차이를 극대화 하였다. G-PEDOT:PSS 전도성 고분자를 브러쉬 인쇄공정으로 소스/드레인 전극 영역 주변에 도포하여 전극을 성형하였으며, OTFT 어레이 ($16{\times}16$)에서 약 90% 가까운 수율을 나타내었다. 불소계 화합물을 첨가한 PVP와 펜타센 반도체를 사용한 OTFT의 성능은 첨가하지 않은 소자와 비교하여 큰 차이가 없었으며, 이동도는 0.1 $cm^2/V.sec$ 로서 전기영동디스플레이(EPD) 시트를 구동하기에 충분한 성능이었다. OTFT 어레이에 EPD 시트를 부착하여 성공적인 작동을 확인하였다.

By using differential display, we identified one of the genes encoding the multi-subunit complex protein V-ATPase, c subunit gene (ATP6L), and showed alterations of the gene expression by oxidative stresses. Expression of the ATP6L gene in Neuro-2A cells was increased by the treatment with $H_2O_2$ and incubation in hypoxic chamber, implying that the expression of the ATP6L gene is regulated by oxidative stresses. To examine mechanisms involved in the regulation of the gene expression by oxidative stresses, the transcriptional activity of the rat ATP6L promoter was studied. Transcription initiation site was determined by primer extension analysis and DNA sequencing, and promoter of the rat ATP6L and its deletion clones were constructed in reporter assay vector. Significant changes of the promoter activities in Neuro-2A cells were observed in two regions within the proximal 1 kbp promoter, and one containing a suppressor was in -195 to -220, which contains GC box that is activated by binding of Sp1 protein. The suppression of promoter activity was lost in mutants of the GC box. We confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift and supershift assays that Sp1 protein specifically binds to the GC box. The promoter activity was not changed by the $H_2O_2$ treatment and incubation in hypoxic chamber, however, $H_2O_2$ increased the stability of ATP6L mRNA. These data suggest that the expression of the ATP6L gene by oxidative stresses is regulated at posttranscriptional level, whereas the GC box is important in basal activities of the promoter.
