This experiment was executed to investigate the characteristics of gloss and color difference in coated films by N.C. Lacquer, Aminoalkyd, Polyester. and Polyurethan coating after chemical (distilled water, ethyl alcohol. acetic acid, and sodium hydroxide) and heating ($120^{\circ}C$) treatments, cold-check test, and U.V. radiation. The results obtained were summarized as follows 1. The gloss decreasing rate by water resistance test was the least among chemicals treated on coated films. 2. The color difference of coated films chemical treatments highly and similarly increased, except the alkali treatment showing a little increase. 3. In the color difference by U.V. radiation, the polyester coated film showed generally large difference compared with the other coated films.

Reflective silver films with high quality were prepared on polyester substrate by using sputter deposit on techniques. Best reflectivity thin films of silver were produced with process parameters of $10^{-6}$ Torr as base pressure, 50 W as R.F. power, 5 mTorr as working pressure, and 10 sccm as Ar flow rate. Being deposited with an R.F. power of 50 W, Ag films revealed the highest 96.3 % reflectance as illuminated with a light of 700 nm wavelength. The adhesion of sample films showed as high as 14 to $20{\;}kg/\textrm{cm}^2$, which is suitable for industrial purposes. Their film crystallinity and orientation resulted in the planes of (111) and (200) for the growth with a preferred orientation of <111>, in general. The cross-sections of thin film specimens showed columnar structures. It is noted that columns became coarsened and less dense as R.F. power increased, resulting in a low reflectivity for the product film.

Thin films of silver with high reflectance of 95% and above were fabricated successfully on polyester substrate by using e-beam evaporation processes. The optimum process condition was investigated by varying the current values applied while keeping the substrate temperature at room temperature by circulating the cooling water around it during deposition. Thin films of silver deposited with 30 mA as current revealed the highest reflectance of 96.4%, while being illuminated with a light of 700nm wave-length. But their adhesion showed unsatisfactory results. Though the films showed a condensation type in the cross-sectional views, they revealed crystallinity in the planes of (111) and (200) and growth orientation in <100> direction.

DuPont Teijin Films (DTF) have developed engineered substrates specifically for the flexible electronics market. $Teonex^{(R)}Q65$ is a biaxially oriented crystalline polyester with a tailored surface and it is emerging as a competitive material for the base substrate in OLED displays and active matrix backplanes. Given the dimensional reproducibility requirements in the display applications, uncontrolled moisture absorption during the processing cycle could potentially be far more significant than the inherent shrinkage of the base substrate. Understanding these effects and optimising the processing steps involved in device manufacture will be critical to achieving the ultimate performance that can be achieved with the base substrate.

To save electrical energy as much as 40 % for fluorescent lighting, the reflectors coated with silver reflective thin films recently became popular with higher reflectivities and long life. The thin films fabricated by using sputtering techniques are produced mainly in U.S.A. On the other hand, some silver films deposited by using evaporation methods show low adhesion in general, although the reflectivity is no problem. We have studied various PVD methods to obtain thin films with high reflectivity and adhesion on a substrate of polyester, for a couple of years. Silver films manufactured byusing evaporation showed the reflectivity of 96.4 % and the adhesion of $12 kg/\textrm{cm}^2$. while samples manufactured by using sputtering depicted the adhesion as much as $20 Kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ that is almost double, although their reflectivity was not much different. X-ray diffraction spectra for the sputtered films demonstrated a preferential growth on (111) plane and the cross-sections of the specimens revealed a dense columnar structure to result in the enhanced adhesion.

DuPont Teijin FilmsTM have developed engineered substrates for flexible electronics. Teonex(R) Q65 and Melinex(R) ST506/5004 are biaxially oriented semi-crystalline polyesters. Smooth planarised Teonex(R) Q65 and Melinex(R) ST506/504 emerge as suitable substrate materials for display backplanes and frontplanes. This contribution discusses the impact of applying a planariser coating to these films. Also, the effect of a more controlled finishing process treatment upon film shrinkage and CLTE is presented.

DuPont Teijin $Films^{TM}$ (DTF) have developed engineered substrates specifically for the flexible electronics market. $Teonex^{(R)}$ Q65, $Melinex^{(R)}$ ST506 and ST504 are biaxially oriented crystalline polyesters with the option of planarised surfaces. These films are emerging as competitive materials for the base substrate in OLED displays and active matrix backplanes. Given the demanding dimensional reproducibility requirements in the display applications, it is critical to control the several factors that can influence the film distortion in order to achieve the ultimate performance. This paper will discuss the impact of thermal stress, mechanical stress and the processing environment on dimensional reproducibility of polyester film and give examples of how this impacts on the film in device manufacture.

Thin reflective films are synthesized by using PVD methods with a bright metal of Al or Ag. For purposes of improving the reflectance and adhesion of such films particularly, substrate bias was applied during sputtering (namely, ion-plating) to enhance the deposition process with higher energy. And we succeeded in fabricating a quality silver film which possesses an adhesion of $85{\;}Kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and a high reflectivity of more than 96%. Both of reflectivity and adhesion are better in case of bias sputtering as controlled than nonbias sputtering, particularly the bias of 50-100 V showed most effective. The microstructures of sample films were examined by using various equipments and the XRD spectrum in particular showed that <111> direction is the preferred growth orientation.

The oxygen permeability and it's proofness of te various commercial polymer films have been investigated at the constant pressure and temperature. Oxygen proofness, the reciprocals of the oxygen permeability for the various samples, were determined by means of a coulometric oxygen permeability tester. The testing of sample films was performed at constant temperature $(23{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$ under 1 atm. for 24 hours. The order of the relative proofness observed are as follows; oriented Nylon (O. Nylon)> oriented Polyester (O. PET)>nonoriented Nylon (N. Nylon)>nonoriented Polyester (N.PET)> rigid Polyvinyl chloride (Rigid PVC)>semirigid Polyvinyl chloride (Semirigid PVC)> oriented Polypropylene (O. PP)>plasticized Polyvinyl chloride (P. PVC)> casted Polypropylene (C. PP)> low density Polyethylene (LDPE)>high density Polyethylene (HDPE, Inflation)> high density-polyethylene (HDPE, T-die) The oxygen proofness of the films was increased with the polarity cf polymer, the film thickness and mechanical orientation and decreased with the addition of plasticizer in PVC. For the use of wrapping materials, one film with the polar property in the main chain of the polymer molecule and the others with nonpolar property in it are laminated for the protection from oxygen and moisture.
