In many electro-devices, the vacuum process is used as the manufacturing process. However, the vacuum process has a problem, it is difficult to apply to a continuous process such as a R2R(roll to roll) printing process. In this paper, we propose an ESD (electro static deposition) printing process has been used to apply an organic solar cell of thin film forming. ESD is a method of liquid atomization by electrical forces, an electrostatic atomizer sprays micro-drops from the solution injected into the capillary with electrostatic force generated by electric potential of about several tens kV. The organic solar cell based on a P3HT/PCBM active layer and a PEDOT:PSS electron blocking layer prepared from ESD method shows solar-to-electrical conversion efficiency of 1.42% at AM 1.5G 1sun light illumination, while 1.86% efficiency is observed when the ESD deposition of P3HT/PCBM is performed on a spin-coated PEDOT:PSS layer.

Recently, bulk hetero-junction cells have been extensively studied by many researchers. Most of these cells were fabricated by spin coater. However, the spin coating process is not favorable to the large-scaled industry because it is not compatible with roll-to-roll process. One of the alternative methods is Doctor blading. In this study, we fabricated large OPV cells having total area of $100cm^2$. The buffer layer was Poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly-(styrenesulfonate) aqueous dispersion (PEDOT:PSS) and the active material is poly (3-hexythiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend in the solvent of Chlorobenzene. All of the organic layers were coated by dragging the blade with a speed of 5~20 mm/s on the stage with a temperature of $50^{\circ}C$. As-bladed PEDOT:PSS layer was baked at $120^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes to eliminate the water. The cell structure is patterned ITO substrate/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al. The topmost electrode, LiF/Al, was deposited by thermal evaporation. After depositing electrode, and the cell was annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The measured ISC, VOC, fill factor, and PCE were 2.95 A, 5.86 V, 0.32, and 0.78%, respectively. PCE was quite low but the large active area could be obtained successfully.

Gel have enormous applicable region due to inherently high stretchability and bio-compatibility. Here, we fabricated highly stretchable electronic conductive organogels which have long-term stability in environment. By introducing a dialysis step which can incorporate conducting polymer, PEDOT, on the procedure of gel synthesis, residual ions inside the gel were removed. In addition, we replaced the water with organic solvent, EG, inside the gels which is high stability in air. Unlike conventional hydrogels, there are no ionic conduction occurred and electrochemically driven current was prevented during electrical voltage was applied. The fabricated organogels are hardly dried during air exposure, and only electrically conductive without any electrochemical reaction at even high voltage. In order to utilize as stretchable conductor, we demonstrated a LED array circuit using the conductive organogels as electrical interconnects. It was successfully operative even stretched up to 300% strain.

Smartphone is integrated into the daily lives of all types of people not even young generation. A touch screen display is a primary input device of a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc. While there are many tough technologies in existence, resistive and capacitive are dominant and currently lead the touch screen panel industry. And a capacitive touch screen panel widely used in smart phones is coated with a material that stores electrical charges. In this study, we tried to manufacture gloves produced with electro-conducting leather as a tool to operate a touch panel screen. Therefore, electrically conductive materials, Polyaniline(PANI), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were applied to the surface of leather to be used as a touching operator for capacitive touch screen panel. The leather samples were treated by simple painting method; firstly, they were painted with aqueous solution containing each of the electrically conductive materials and then dried. This cycle was repeated three times. Consequently, the treated leather samples showed electrical conductivity and reasonable working performance to the capacitive touch screen. And, PANI showed the best performance and highest electrical conductivity, and then PEDOT and, CNT in decreasing order. This is because the solubilities of PANI and PEDOT show higher than dispersibility of CNT. Thus, the concentration of conducting polymers was greater than that of CNT in the treating solutions.

ITO(indium tin oxide)/glass 기판 위에 PEDOT:PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)]와 PVK[poly(N-vinyl carbazole)] 고분자 물질을 정공 주입 및 수송층으로, 발광층으로 PFO-poss[Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) end capped with POSS]를 사용하여 스핀코팅법과 열 증착법으로 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al 구조의 고분자 발광 다이오드를 제작하였다. PFO-poss 유기발광 층의 열처리 조건 (온도, 시간)이 PLED 소자의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 1 wt%의 농도를 갖는 PFO-poss 유기물 발광 층을 200C 온도로 3시간 열처리 할 경우 11 V 인가전압에서 $1497\;cd/m^2$의 최대 휘도를 나타내었다. 동일온도에서 열처리 시간을 1시간에서 3시간으로 증가시킬 경우 휘도의 증가와 함께 발광 개시온도가 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 열처리 온도와 시간을 증가시킬 경우 제2발광피크인 excimer 피크가 크게 나타났으며 청색에서 황색 발광 쪽으로 천이되는 경향을 나타내었다.

This is a report on the fabrication of a flexible OTFT backplane for electrophoretic display (EPD) using a printing technology. A practical printing technology for a polycarbonate substrate was developed by combining the conventional screen and inkjet printing technologies with the wet etching and oxygen plasma processes. For the gate electrode, the screen printing technology with Ag ink was developed to define the minimum line width of ${\sim}5{\mu}m$ and the thickness of ${\sim}70nm$ with the resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, which are suitable for displays with SVGA resolution. For the source and drain (S/D) electrodes, PEDOT:PSS, whose conductivity was drastically enhanced to 450 S/cm by adding 10 wt% glycerol, was adopted. In addition, the modified PEDOT:PSS could be neatly confined in the specific S/D electrode area that had been pretreated with oxygen. The OTFTs that made use of the developed printing technology produced a mobility of ${\sim}0.13cm^2/Vs.ec$ and an on/off current ratio of ${\sim}10^6$, which are comparable to those using thermally evaporated Au for the S/D electrode.

We have studied the dependence of current-voltage characteristics of Organic Light Emitting Diodes(OLEDs) on temperature-dependent variation. The OLEDs have been based on the molecular compounds. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1, 1'- biphenyl-4, 4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport. tris(8-hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT:PSS) as a buffer layer. The current-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10K and 300K. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs has been interpreted in terms of space-charge-limited current(SCLC) and tunneling region.Ā᐀會Ā᐀衅?⨀頱岒ᄀĀ저會Ā저?⨀⡌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀㡆?⨀쁌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀遆?⨀郞ග瀀ꀏ會Ā?⨀〲岒ऀĀ᐀會Ā᐀䁇?⨀젲岒Ā㰀會Ā㰀顇?⨀끩Ā㈀會Ā㈀?⨀䡪ഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀䡈?⨀Ā᐀會Ā᐀ꁈ?⨀硫Ā저會Ā저?⨀샟ගऀĀ저會Ā저偉?⨀栰岒ഀĀ저會Ā저ꡉ?⨀1岒ഀĀ저會Ā저J?⨀惝ග؀Ā؀會Ā؀塊?⨀ග䈀Ā切

We present results from an experimental study of conductivity change of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) film according to the surface structuring. We demonstrate that the patterned structure was enhanced with approximately five times conductivity in comparison with non structure of PEDOT:PSS film. In order to patterning, we have fabricated polystyrene (PS) colloidal monolayer as a template with sphere diameter of 780nm and 1.8um. Structure has honeycomb shape and it provide shorter path way to flowing of electron. Pattern size was controlled by PS diameter and varied by Transformer Coupled Plasma (TCP) etching system. Conductivity was converted from sheet resistance which measured by 4-point prove. Film thickness was derived using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) images.

Application of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to the fabrication of organic thin film transistor has been recently reported very often since it can help to provide ohmic contact between films as well as to form simple and effective electrode pattern. Accordingly, quality of these ultra-thin films is becoming more imperative. In this study, in order to manufacture a high quality SAM pattern, a hydrophobic alkylsilane monolayer and a hydrophilic aminosilane monolayer were selectively coated on $SiO_2$ surface through the consecutive procedures of a micro-contact printing (${\mu}CP$) and dip-coating methods under extremely dry condition. On a SAM pattern cleaned with SC1 solution immediately after ${\mu}CP$, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) source and drain electrode array were very selectively and nicely vapour phase polymerized. On the other side, on a SC1-untreated SAM pattern, PEDOT array was very poorly polymerized. It strongly suggests that the SC1 cleaning process effectively removes unwanted contaminants on SAM pattern, thereby resulting in very selective growth of PEDOT electrode pattern.

태양전지에 대한 관심과 수요가 증가함에 따라 태양전지의 대면적화 및 저가 생산을 위한 유기태양전지에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 유기태양전지의 대면적화는 현재의 태양전지 시장을 대체하기 위한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 기존의 유기태양전지는 주로 스핀코팅법에 의해 제작 되었으나 대면적화 및 유연성 박막 제조 시 공정상 어려움이 있기 때문에 스핀코팅을 대체할 새로운 제조 방법이 개발되고 있다. 그 중, 스프레이 공법을 적용한 유기태양전지 제조방법이 각광을 받고 있으며, 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 유기태양전지 제작을 위하여 금속 전극을 제외한 전 공정 (N형 ZnO 층 -P3HT:PCBM 광흡수층-P형 PEDOT:PSS층)을 용액기반의 스프레이 코팅 공정을 적용하여 제작하였다. 스프레이 공정을 통해 코팅한 ZnO, 광활성 및 PEDOT:PSS 박막의 경우, 각각의 표면거칠기는 스핀코팅에 의해 형성된 박막과 유사한 거칠기 값을 가졌다. 최적의 스프레이 공정을 통하여 ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag의 구조를 가지는 invert형 유기태양전지를 제작한 결과, AM 1.5G의 광원조건에서 2.95 %의 광변환 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 기존의 스핀코팅법으로 제작된 소자와 거의 비슷한 성능으로써 저가형□대면적 유기태양전지의 제작 가능성을 보여준 결과이다.
