Organic transistors are promising in the future development of active devices for flexible, low-cost and large-area photoelectric devices. However, conventional organic field-effect transistors have lowspeed, low-power, and relatively high operational voltage. Vertical type transistors show high-speed and high-current characteristics and are suitable for driver elements of flexible displays.

Advanced mobile communication devices require a bright, high information content display in a small, light-weight, low power consumption package. For portable applications flexible (or conformable) and rugged displays will be the future. In this paper we outline our progress towards developing such a low power consumption active-matrix flexible OLED $(FOLED^{TM})$ display. We demonstrate full color 100 ppi QVGA active matrix OLED displays on flexible stainless steel substrates. Our work in this area is focused on integrating three critical enabling technologies. The first technology component is based on UDC's high efficiency long-lived phosphorescent OLED $(PHOLED^{TM})$ device technology, which has now been commercially demonstrated as meeting the low power consumption performance requirements for mobile display applications. Secondly, is the development of flexible active-matrix backplanes, and for this our team are employing PARC's Excimer Laser Annealed (ELA) poly-Si TFTs formed on metal foil substrates as this approach represents an attractive alternative to fabricating poly-Si TFTs on plastic for the realization of first generation flexible active matrix OLED displays. Unlike most plastics, metal foil substrates can withstand a large thermal load and do not require a moisture and oxygen permeation barrier. Thirdly, the key to reliable operation is to ensure that the organic materials are fully encapsulated in a package designed for repetitive flexing, and in this device we employ a multilayer thin film Barix encapsulation technology in collaboration with Vitex systems. Drive electronics and mechanical packaging are provided by L3 Displays.

OLED commercialization has been led in mobile market by Samsung since 2007, but more suppliers in Korea, China and Japan are joining the market. However, there remain some challenges in expanding its application to large size TV and flexible displays, especially in competition with dominant LCD products. This talk will discuss future prospects of the OLED technology after brief review of the progress.

Graphene, a flat one-atom-thick two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms, is considered to be a promising candidate for nanoelectronics due to its exceptional electronic properties. Most of all, future nanoelectronics such as flexible displays and artificial electronic skins require low cost manufacturing process on flexible substrate to be integrated with high resolutions on large area. The solution based printing process can be applicable on plastic substrate at low temperature and also adequate for fabrication of electronics on large-area. The combination of printed electronics and graphene has allowed for the development of a variety of flexible electronic devices. As the first step of the study, we prepared the gate electrodes by printing onto the gate dielectric layer on PET substrate. We showed the performance of graphene field-effect transistor with electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet-printed Ag gate electrodes.

Development of printed electronics, which is occasionally referred to as 'flexible' or 'polymer' electronics, has attracted considerable world wide attention in recent years. Printed (or flexible) electronics is currently expected to represent a new form of electronics and open up wide ranging applications in displays, electron devices for medical use, sensors, and other areas. This presentation aims to provide a strategy for scalable and viable paths to accomplish flexible, printable, large area circuits displaying high performance. Novel approaches evolving from system on package (SoP) to system on flex (SoF) technology will allow the integration of heterogeneous materials platforms into a system which is needed to enhance the functionality of the system. The talk also includes speculations about areas on which future advances in printed electronics could have a substantial impact along with a brief introduction of the Korea Printed Electronics Association (KoPEA).

Application of liquid crystal (LC) materials to a flexible device is challenging because the bending of LC displays easily causes change in thickness of the LC layer and orientation of LCs, resulting in deterioration in a displayed image quality. In this work, we demonstrate a prototype device combining a flexible polymer substrate and an optically isotropic LC-polymer composite in which the device consists of interdigitated in-plane switching electrodes deposited on a flexible colorless polyimide substrate and the composite consisting of nano-sized LC droplets in a polymer matrix. The device can keep good electro-optic characteristics even when it is in a bending state because the LC orientation is not disturbed in both voltage-off and -on states. The proposed device shows a high potential to be applicable for future flexible LC devices.

대부분의 유연전기소자는 플라스틱, 옷감, 종이와 같이 고온에 민감한 물질이기 때문에 열에 민감한 기판 위에 금속을 증착하고 패터닝할 수 있는 저온 공정의 개발이 필요하다. 최근 기존의 광식각과 진공증착 방법을 이용하지 않고 액상으로 금속 나노입자의 박막을 형성하고 선택적 레이저 소결을 이용하여 플라스틱에 열적손상을 최소화하고 고해상도의 금속 패터닝을 방법이 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 본 연구실에서 활발히 수행중인 나노물질의 선택적 레이저소결법을 이용하여 유연 디스플레이와 유연태양전지와 같은 유연전기소자의 개발 동향에 대해 알아보고 앞으로의 발전방향에 대해 논의한다.

We proposed a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) with high aperture ratio using an electrophoretic particle layer (EPL). The transflective LCD consisted of the stacked LC layer and EPL which was acted as a switchable mirror under in-plane electrode structure. Without separation of reflective part and transmissive part in one pixel, a modeselectable display device can be obtained.
