Polymer Light Emitting Diodes (PLEDs) with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al structure were prepared on plasma-treated ITO/glass substrates using spin-coating and thermal evaporation methods. The annealing effects of the PFO-poss film when it acts as the emission layer were investigated by using electrical and optical property measurements. The annealing conditions of the PFO-poss emission film were 100 and $200^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2 and 3 hours, respectively. The luminance increased and the turn-on voltage decreased when the annealing temperature and treatment time increased. After examining the Luminance-Voltage (L-V) properties of the PLED, the maximum luminance was found to be 1497 cd/$m^2$ at 11 V for the device when it was annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The peak intensity of the PLED emission spectra at approximately 525 nm in wavelength increased when the annealing temperature and time of the PFO-poss film increased. These results suggest that the light emission color shifted from blue to green.

In the future, electronic components will be integrated on flexible polymer substrates and then miniaturized by thin films using suitable thin film technologies. In this article, the concept of a room temperature CVD is demonstrated using $Bi_3NbO_7$ (BNO) films with a cubic fluorite structure and their structural and electrical properties were investigated in films deposited without substrate heating. Effects of substrate temperature on electrical properties of BNO films were also studied. Films deposited without substrate heating (real temperature of $50^{\circ}C$) show partially crystallized BNO single phases with grain size of approximately 6.5 nm. Their dielectric and leakage properties are comparable to those of films deposited by pulsed laser deposition at room temperature. The concept of room temperature CVD will become a new paradigm in the deposition of dielectric thin films for flexible electron device applications.

In this study, we fabricated a polymer light emitting diode (PLED) and investigated its electrical and optical characteristics in order to examine the effects of the PFO [poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2-7-diyl) end capped with N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)-4-aniline] concentrations in the emission layer (EML). The PFO polymer was dissolved in toluene ranging from 0.2 to 1.2 wt%, and then spin-coated. To verify the influence of the TPBI [2,2',2"-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole)]electron transport layer, TPBI small molecules were deposited by thermal evaporation. The current density, luminance, wavelength and current efficiency characteristics of the prepared PLED devices with and without TPBI layer at various PFO concentrations were measured and compared. The luminance and current efficiency of the PLED devices without TPBI layer were increased, from 117 to $553\;cd/m^2$ and from 0.015 to 0.110 cd/A, as the PFO concentration increased from 0.2 to 1.0 wt%. For the PLED devices with TPBI layer, the luminance and current efficiency were $1724\;cd/m^2$ and 0.501 cd/A at 1.0 wt% PFO concentration. The CIE color coordinators of the PLED device with TPBI layer at 1.0 wt% PFO concentration showed a more pure blue color compared with the one without TPBI, and the CIE values varied from (x, y) = (0.21, 0.23) to (x, y) = (0.16, 0.11).

본 논문에서는 폴리머 광도파로 열 격자(arrayed waveguide grating: AWG)를 나노임프린트 방법을 이용하여 제안하고 구현하였다. 빔전파방법을 도입하여 소자를 설계하고 해석하였다. 균일한 접착 및 분리 특성을 갖는 임프린트용 PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) 스탬프(stamp)를 쿼츠 글래스 물질로 만들어진 마스터 몰드를 이용하여 개발하였다. 이 PDMS 스탬프로 폴리머층을 눌러서 소자 패턴을 형성하고 폴리머를 스핀코팅하여 소자를 완성하였다. 이러한 소자는 식각공정 없이 간단한 스핀코팅과 임프린트 공정만으로 만들어지기 때문에 대량 생산에 적합할 것이다. 제작된 폴리머 AWG 소자의 출력 채널 수는 8개, 채널 간격은 0.8nm, 각 채널의 중심파장은 1543.7nm $\sim$ 1548.3nm 였다. 평균적인 채널 누화와 대역폭은 각각 $\sim$10dB와 0.8nm였다.

We fabricated a pentacene thin film transistor with Poly-vinylalcohol (PVA) as a dielectric. And we used Poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a buffer layer to improve the electrical characteristics. PVK is a material used often host material for OLED device, as it has good film forming properties, large HOMO-LUMO(highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) bandgap. The performance of a OTFT device with PVA gate dielectric was improved by using the PVK. Field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio of device with PVK layer were about 0.6 $cm^2$/Vs, -17V, and $5\times10^5$, respectively.

We studied emitting properties of organic electroluminescent devices fabricated using the spin-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The LB technique has the advantage of precise control of the thickness better than spin-coating method. LB monolayer of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) was deposited 27 layers onto the indium-tin-oxide(ITO) substrate as Y-type films by the vertical dipping method. In the absorption spectra, the λ$\_$max/ of P3HT-AA LB films and of spin-coating films showed about at 510, 545 and 590 nm corresponding to 2.43, 2.28, 2.10eV. And we observed that the turn-on voltage of devices deposited by LB method(10V) was higher than that of spin-coating method(8.5V) in voltage-current-luminance characteristic. In the logV-logJ characteristics of ITO/P3HT-AA LB/Al device, we confirmed that El device fabricated by LB method follows three conduction mechanisms: ohmic, space-charge-limited current(SCLC) conduction and trapped-carrier-limited space-charge current(TCLC) conduction.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics as a function of passivation thickness$(t_p)$ in the fringe-field swiching (FFS) mode using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. When $t_p$ is increased from $0.29{\mu}m$ to $3.0{\mu}m$, a maximum transmittance is slightly increased to $2{\mu}m$. However, operating voltage is continuously increased up to above 11v. We found that the tilt angle is decreased between the edge of pixel electrode and the center of each pixel electrode. In the FFS mode using the liquid crystal with positive dielectric anisotropy, transmittance is affected by the tilt angle. When tilt angle is increased, transmittance become decrease. Therefore, in the FFS device, a low tilt angle is favored for high transmittance. It is demonstrated that the suitable passivation thickness make a tilt angle decreased.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics as a function of splay elastic constants ($K_{11}$) in the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. When $K_{11}$ is increased from 7.7pN to 11.7pN, a maximum transmittance is slightly increased and rising time become a little bit fast. However, operating voltage and threshold voltage is independent. In opposition to rising time, decay time is not affected by $K_{11}$. We already know that $K_{11}$ affects tilt angle of liquid crystals. Therefore, on the occasion of high $K_{11}$, liquid crystals are mainly affected by twist deformation because the higher $K_{11}$, the less tilt angle. In the FFS device, high $K_{11}$ is favorable to reduce tilt angle in on state and thus improve rising response time.

We have investigated the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/bufferr/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were produced using the spin casting method where as the CuPc layer was produced using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature at various a thickness of the buffer layer. We observed an improvement in the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer were used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is assumed to be attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons resulting from the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer function as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

We fabricated white light-emitting organic electroluminescent device which have a mixed single emitting layer containing poly(N-vinylcarbazole)[PVK], tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum[Alq3] and poly(3-hexylthiophene)[P3HT] and investigated the emission properties of it. We expect to obtain a blue light from PVK, green light from Alq3 and red light from P3HT The fabricated device emits white light over 18V with slight orange light. We think that the energy transfer in a mixed layer occurred from PVK to $Alq_3$ and P3HT resulted in decreasing the blue light intensity from PVK. With mixing of N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-(3-methylphenyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4, 4'-diamine[TPD], hole transport material, to the emitting layer, the luminance intensity of device was increased 50 times than that of the device which not contain TPD. We find that the efficiency of the white light electroluminescent device can be improved by injecting electron more effectively and blue light need to improve the color purity of white light.
