Inkjet printing is commonly used in the controlled deposition of solutions of functional materials in specific locations on a substrate, and it can provide easy and fast deposition of polymer films over a large area. which could become a way to manufacturer low cost solar cells. In the present study, inkjet printing technology is adopted to deposit functional layers of PEDOT/PSS solutions and P3HT/PCBM blends for organic solar cell. The results show that merging of separately deposited ink droplets into a continuous, pinhole-free organic thin film could be achieved by a balance between ink property and substrate treatment. As a result, a power conversion efficiency of 2.0% has been accomplished a solar cells applying inkjet technology.

본 연구에서는 금속 나노입자 함량에 따른 유기나노복합체에서의 광학 및 전기전도도 특성변화를 분석하였다. 유기나노복합체 전극은 전기전도성을 가리고 있는 PEDOT : PSS(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythio- phone):poly(styrenesulfonate))나노 입자를 기반으로 하며 이 복합제에 미량의 Ag nano-particle을 첨가하여 전기전도도 특성을 향상시키는 연구를 진행하였다. Ag nano-particle은 전체 중량 대비 01 - 0.4%의 범위에서 첨가하였으며 실험결과 0.1%의 첨가 비율에서 약 5% 정도의 전기전도도 특성 향상이 확인되었다. 또한 광투과도 변화를 분석해본 결과 0.4%까지의 Ag nano-particle 첨가 비율에서는 광투과도의 비율이 크게 감소되지 않는 것으로 파악되었다.

Triphenylamine derivatives play important roles as hole transporting materials in organic light emitting devices. However, low molecular weight triphenylamine derivatives show low glass transition temperature and aggregation behavior, and the vapor deposition step of low molecular weight materials is incompatible with large area display fabrication. Conventional polymer PEDOT-PSS HTL has serious drawbacks such as the ITO anode corrosion, poor surface energy match with aromatic EMLs. To solve these problems, we introduced crosslinkable units to triphenylamine-based polymers to make insoluble HTL by thermal curing following spin-coating. Electrochemical and optical properties of the new hole transporting materials were investigated. In addition, the device characteristics obtained with new hole transporting polymers were investigated in details.

Printing technologies were applied to fabricate a flexible organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) backplane for electrophoretic displays (EPDs). Various printing processes were adopted to maximize the figures of each layer of OTFT: screen printing combined with reverse offset printing for the gate electrodes and scan bus lines with Ag ink, inkjet for the source/drain electrodes with glycerol-doped Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): Poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), inkjet for the semiconductor layer with Triisopropylsilylethynyl (TIPS)-pentacene, and screen printing for the pixel electrodes with Ag paste. A mobility of $0.44cm^2/V$ s was obtained, with an average standard deviation of 20%, from the 36 OTFTs taken from different backplane locations, which indicates high uniformity. An EPD laminated on an OTFT backplane with $190{\times}152$ pixels on an 8-in panel was successfully operated by displaying some patterns.

Photovoltaic effects in organic solar cell were studied in a cell configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc(20 nm)/$C_{60}$(40 nm)/BCP/Al(150 nm) at room temperature. Here, the BCP layer works as an exciton blocking layer. The exciton blocking layer must transport electrons from the acceptor layer to the metal cathode with minimal increase in the total cell series resistance and should absorb damage during cathode deposition. Therefore, a proper thickness of the exciton blocking layer is required for an optimized photovoltaic cell. Several thicknesses of BCP were made between $C_{60}$ and Al. And we obtained characteristic parameters such as short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and power conversion efficiency of the device under the illumination of AM 1.5.

Inkjet printing is commonly used in depositing the solution of functional materials on the specific locations of a substrate, and also it can provide easy and fast patterning of polymer films over a large area. Inkjet printing is applicable to fabricating an organic light emitting diode (OLED), since conducting materials used as emissive electroluminescent layers can be manufactured into inks for ink jetting. By using the inkjet technology, we have succeeded in patterning a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) layer and a poly[2-Methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) layer on the Indume tin oxide (ITO) patterned substrates, and fabricating organic light emitting diodes.

유기태양전지는 친환경 에너지 소스로써 저가 대량 생산이 가능하고 특히 유연한 기판에 적용이 가능하여 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 기존에 사용되는 indium tin oxide (ITO)의 사용으로 인한 유연성 부족으로 대체되는 투명전극의 개발이 요구되어지고 있다. 이로 인해 carbon nanotubes, graphene, thin metals, metal grids, and conducting polymers 등이 연구되고 있으며, 이중 Silver nanowires (Ag NWs)를 이용한 방식도 많은 관심과 함께 전기광학적 특성에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 유기전자소자에 사용되기에는 몇 가지 문제점이 발생하는데 이를 해결하기 위한 노력이 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 특히 다양한 물질의 혼합을 통해 개선하고자 하는 노력이 증가하고 있는데 적층구조의 전도성필름 형성을 통해 ITO-free OPVs에서 Ag nanowire를 transparent conductive electrodes로 활용하였다. Ag NWs층과 PEDOT:PSS layer의 복합화를 통해 저가의 ITO-free OPVs용 transparent anodes가 가능해졌다.

Red color light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated using CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots (QDs). During the device fabrication process, oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO surface was performed to improve the interfacial contact between ITO anode and the hole injection layer. CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots were cross-linked to remove their surrounded organic surfactants. The device shows red emission at 622 nm, which is consistent with the dimension of the QDs (band gap=1.99 eV). The luminance shows 6026% improvement compared with that of LEDs fabricated without oxygen plasma treatment and quantum dots cross-linking process. This approach would be useful for the fabrication of high-performance QLEDs with ITO electrode and PEDOT:PSS hole injection layers.
