In this paper, we developed a flexible transparent capacitive pressure sensor which can recognize X and Y coordinates and the size of force simultaneously by sensing a change in electrical capacitance. The flexible transparent capacitive pressure sensor was composed of 3 layers which were top electrode, pressure sensing layer, and bottom electrode. Silver nanowire(Ag NW)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hybrid film was used for top and bottom flexible transparent electrode. The fabricated capacitive pressure sensor had a total size of 5 inch, and was composed of 11 driving line and 19 sensing line channels. The electrical, optical properties of the Ag NW/PEDOT:PSS and capacitive pressure sensor were investigated respectively. The mechanical flexibility was also investigated by bending tests. Ag NW/PEDOT:PSS exhibited the sheet resistance of $44.1{\Omega}/square$, transmittance of 91.1%, and haze of 1.35%. Notably, the Ag NW/PEDOT:PSS hybrid electrode had a constant resistance change within a bending radius of 3 mm. The bending fatigue tests showed that the Ag NW/PEDOT:PSS could withstand 200,000 bending cycles which indicated the superior flexibility and durability of the hybrid electrode. The flexible transparent capacitive pressure sensor showed the transmittance of 84.1%, and haze of 3.56%. When the capacitive pressure sensor was pressed with the multiple 2 mm-diameter tips, it can well detect the force depending on the applied pressure. This indicated that the capacitive pressure sensor is a promising scheme for next generation flexible transparent touch screens which can provide multi-tasking capabilities through simultaneous multi-touch and multi-force sensing.

In this paper, white polymer light emitting diodes(WPLEDs) were fabricated and investigated the electrical and optical properties for the prepared devices. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfolnate)] as anode and hole injection materials, PFO [poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEH-PPV [poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and guest materials, respectively. The LiF(lithium flouride) and Al(aluminum) were used electron injection materials and cathode materials. Finally, the WPLED with structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:MEH-PPV/LiF/Al was fabricated. The prepared WPLED showed white emission with CIE coordinates of (x=0.36, y=0.35) at the applied voltage of 9V. The maximum current density and luminance were about $740mA/cm^2\;and\;900cd/m^2$ at 13V, respectively. And the maximum current efficiency was 0.37 cd/A at $200cd/m^2$ in luminance.

An array structure of conducting polymer microtubule was fabricated for an amperometric biosensor. 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) was electropolymerized in the microporous template membrane with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT/PSS) composite as a binder. The array structure can provide enhanced current collecting capability due to large active surface area compared to the macroscopic area of the electrode itself. For a biosensor application, the array electrode was tested for $H_2O_2$ detection and showed very sluggish electrochemical response to $H_2O_2$. To enhance the detection efficiency to the oxidation of $H_2O_2$, gold was treated on the electrode by two different approaches: sputtering and electrochemical deposition. Gold treatment with either method greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the electrode to $H_2O_2$. So, conducting polymer microtubule array with gold treatment was expected to be a sensitive amperometric biosensor system based on the detection of $H_2O_2$.

Small-molecule organic photovoltaic cells have recently attracted growing attention due to their potential for the low-cost fabrication of flexible and lightweight solar modules. The PVP/Ag nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of poly vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and silver nitrate at $150^{\circ}C$. In the reaction, the size of the nanoparticles was controlled by relative mole fractions between PVP and Ag. The PVP/Ag nanoparticles with various sizes were then spin coated on the patterned ITO glass prior to the deposition of the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer. The scattering of the incident light caused by these incorporated nanoparticles resulted in an increase in the path length of the light through the active layer and hence the enhancement of the light absorption. This scattering effect increased as the size of the nanoparticles increased, but it was offset by the decrease in total transmittance caused by the non-transparent nanoparticles. As a result, the maximum power conversion efficiency, 0.96% which was the value enhanced by 14% compared to the cell without incorporation of nanoparticles, was obtained when the mole fraction of PVP:Ag was 24:1 and the size of the nanoparticles was 20~40 nm.

Recently, there is a growing concern on the photovoltaic effects using organic materials. This is a phenomena which converts the solar energy into the electrical one. We have fabricated a device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc/$C_{60}$/BCP/Al. The PEDOT:PSS layer is made by spin coating. and the other organic layers are made by thermal vapor deposition. By measuring the current-voltage characteristics with an illumination of light. we have obtained a value of $V_{oc}$=0.358V and $J_{sc}$=0.338mA/$cm^2$. A fill factor and efficiency are about 0.271 and 0.033%, respectively. A 500W xenon lamp(ORIEL) was used for a light source, and the light intensity illuminated into the device was about 10mW.

유기태양전지는 간단한 제조공정, 낮은 제조단가, 가벼운 무게 및 우수한 유연성의 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 모바일 기기의 응용에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이종접합 유기태양전지의 광전 변환효율이 낮기 때문에 유기태양전지를 상용화하기 위해서는 광전변환 효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 태양전지의 광전 변환효율을 증진하기 위하여 열처리 시간 변화에 따른 이종접합 유기 태양전지의 특성에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 전자 주게 물질인 P3HT와 전자 받게 물질인 PCBM 물질을 특정용매에 녹여 패턴화된 ITO를 코팅한 glass 기판 위에 스핀 코팅 방법을 이용하여 glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al 구조를 가진 이종접합 유기태양전지를 제작하였다. UV-Vis 분광학, X-선 광전자 분광학 및 원자힘 현미경 측정을 하여 제작한 소자의 광학적 및 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. 이종접합 유기태양전지의 우수한 광흡수율과 평탄한 표면을 가지는 최적화 조건을 열처리 시간에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 제작한 소자들을 열처리를 하지 않은 소자와 다양한 시간 동안 열처리를 한 소자의 특성을 비교하였다. 제작한 이종접합 태양전지의 전류-전압 측정 결과를 분석하여 최대의 광전 변환효율을 가지는 최적의 열처리 조건을 결정하였다. 열처리를 할 경우 열처리를 하지 않은 소자보다 광전 변환효율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Pentacene 박막 트랜지스터의 소스/드레인 전극을 폴리머인 Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)를 사용하여 잉크젯 프린팅 방법으로 제작하였다. 펜타신 박막 트랜지스터는 열 증착법을 사용하여 폴리며 기판위에 100nm의 두께로 증착하였다. 게이트 절연막은 $SiO_2$ 위에 Polymethly Methacrylate (PMMA)를 증착시킨 double layer를 사용하였다. PMMA 위에 증착시킨 pentacene 결정립이 $SiO_2$ 위에 증착한 pentacene 결정립 보다 크게 성장하였고, double layer의 절연막을 씀으로 인해 게이트 누설 전류가 감소함을 보였다. Pentacene 증착 온도에 따른 결정립 크기를 비교하여 가장 적절한 온도를 찾았다. 프린팅 방법을 사용하여 만든 박막 트랜지스터는 전계효과 이동도가 ${\mu}_{FET}=0.023cm^2/Vs$ 이고, 문턱이전 기울기 S.S=0.49V/dec, 문턱전압 $V_{th}=-18V$, $I_{on}/I_{off}$ 전류비 >$10^3$의 전기적 특성을 보였다.
