OLED 소자에 사용되는 유기물들은 대부분 전자에 비해 정공의 이동속도가 매우 빨라 소자 효율의 손실이 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 전하 이동도의 불균형에 의한 OLED 소자 성능의 감소를 개선하기 위해 HBL (hole blocking layer) 물질로 BCP (HOMO : 6.5 eV, LUMO : 2.83 eV)를 도입하였다. 그러나 BCP의 LUMO 값이 약 3 eV를 가지기 때문에 전자의 이동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 예상되어 더 높은 효율을 가지는 소자를 제작하기 위해 host 물질을 상용물질(PGH02)로 교체하였다. PGH02의 HOMO 값은 약 5.86 eV로 소자에 사용된 HTL (hole transport layer)의 HOMO 값(5.54 eV)에 비해 높은 값을 가지기 때문에 HBL의 역할 역시 가능하여 소자의 성능이 상당히 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 전하 이동도의 균형을 맞추기 위해 ETL 물질로는 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 Alq3 (${\mu}{\sim}10-5cm2/Vs$)에 비해 이동도가 10배 이상 빠른 Bebq2 (${\mu}{\sim}10-4cm2/Vs$)를 사용하였다. HTL (hole transport layer) 물질로는 상용물질(LHT 259)를 사용하였고, LHT 259의 전하 이동도는 FET (field effect transistor)를 제작하여 측정하였다. 이를 기반으로 하여 ETL과 HTL의 두께를 조절하여 전하 이동도가 균형을 이루는 OLED 소자를 제작하기 위해 실험을 진행하였다.

Chemically modified graphene has been great interest for the application of printed electronics using solution prossesable technique. Here, we demonstrate a large area graphene exfoliation method with fewer defects on the basal plane by application of shear stress in solution to obtain high quality reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Moreover, we introduce a novel route to preparing highly concentrated and conductive RGO in various solvents by monovalent cation-${\pi}$ interaction. Noncovalent binding forces can be induced between a monopole (cation) and a quadrupole (aromatic ${\pi}$ system). The stability of this RGO dispersion was more sensitive to the strength of the cation-${\pi}$ interactions than to the cation-oxygen functional group interactions. The RGO film prepared without a post-annealing process displayed superior electrical conductivity of 97,500 S/m. Our strategy can facilitate the development of large scalable production methods for preparing printed electronics made from high-quality RGO nanosheets.

This paper presents the evaluation of PID and fuzzy control logic for the lateral position control of a moving web in roll-to-roll (R2R) printed electronics. In addition, we report the implementation of computer simulation software that enables us to develop the control logic in a graphic user interface and to test the controller performance in 3D dynamic environment. A mathematical model of the web dynamics is described first to explain the lateral motion of a moving web. Based on the model, PID and fuzzy controllers are designed, and embedded in the simulation software. Under the simulation conditions for fabricating RFID antenna by R2R printing, the results indicate that the fuzzy controller shows a better performance and can be more suitable for R2R multi-layer printed electronics.

In this research, a continuous roll-to-roll screen printing system was developed using a flat screen. It has a newly devised sliding mechanism of screen printing module, which can be controlled accurately in sync with a moving web, driven by a roll-to-roll tension control and web-guiding system. In addition, the real-time precision alignment module that consists of a vision camera and an $X-Y-{\theta}$ alignment stage was implemented. With this developed system, the feasibility of continuous printing with minimum pattern width below $60{\mu}m$ was verified, and an overlay of ${\pm}60{\mu}m$ between the laser-patterned reference mark and the printed mark on a 300-mm-wide film was achieved.

Printed electronics are emerging technology to realize various microelectronic devices via a cost-effective method. Here we introduce high performance inkjet printed polymer field-effect transistors and application to complementary integrated circuits with p-type and n-type conjugated polymers. The performance of devices highly depends on the selection of dielectrics, printing condition and device architecture. The device optimization and performances of various integrated circuits, e.g., complementary inverters and ring oscillators will be mainly discussed in this talk.

A noise simulation software is developed to estimate crosstalk and reflection noise in multi-layer printed circuit boards having upto 20 layers and carrying signals of 100 MHz range. The simulation software can handle up to 1000 nets yielding accurate noise value associated with each net. The calculation results can be used to build optimal printed citcuit boards used in high speed computers and telecommunication equipments.

This paper presents the Inkjet-printed strain gauge using PEDOT:PSS. The strain gauge (width 0.6 mm, length 20 mm, thickness $0.3{\mu}m$) was printed on the PET film using PEDOT:PSS ink. The resistance variation of the fabricated strain gauge was measured by the digital multi-meter with the displacement range of -4 to 10 mm. As the measured result, resistance variation (${\Delta}R/R_0$) has approximately 0.75%, linearity of 99.87%. The fabricated strain gauge is expected to the various applications such as tape type pressure sensor, PMS(pressure mapping sensor), wearable devices.

Printed RFID는 반도체 성질을 띤 유기물의 발견 및 유기물의 메모리소자로의 활용 등에 대한 연구가 이루어지면서 관심을 가지게 되었다. 유기물이 무기물에 비해 소재의 안정성 등 여러 가지 한계를 갖고 있음에도 전자소자로의 활용을 모색하고 있는 것은 저가격, 대량생산이 가능하다는 데 있다. 유기물을 이용하여 우선적으로 산업화가 진행될 것으로 판단되는 분야가 프린팅방법을 이용한 RFID에의 응용이다. Printed RFID는 저렴한 폴리머 소재를 이용하여 저가격, 대량 생산이 가능하고 생산시 그 수요도 다양할 것으로 보고 있다. 본 기고문에서는 printed RFID의 기술발전 동향, 제조방법, 시장전망, 한계기술 및 극복방안에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

There has been a great interest in printing technology as a low cost and mass production method for the application of printed electronics such as printed TFT, solar cell, RFID Tag, printed battery, and so on. In this study, apparatuses of gravure-offset printing are developed for fine line-width/gap printing and examining pattern distortion occurred in gravure-offset printing process. The fine line-width/gap pattern shows that it is possible to make around 20 micro-meter line-width/gap printing patterns. Pattern distortion is modeled, and the amount and shape of the distortion are calculated by using commercial FEM code. The roll-to-roll printing system under development consists of unwinder/rewinder, two printing units, one coating unit, drying units, guiding unit, vision system, and other auxiliary devices. For multi-layer printing, the system is designed to be capable of printing two different materials.

Recent advances in printing technology have increased the productivity of the roll-to-roll (R2R) printing process for printed circuitry. In the R2R printed electronics, characteristics of printed and coated layers are one of the most important issues that determine the functional quality of final products. The slot-die technology can coat a large area with high uniformity using low-viscosity materials; determining the process parameters is important to obtain excellent coating qualities. In this study, a viscocapillary model was used to predict qualities of coated layers and patterns. On the basis of analysis results, a novel meta model was derived using design of experiment methodology to improve accuracy. Sensitivity analysis was performed to define major parameters in R2R slot-die coating process. The coating speed was found to most significantly affect the coated layer thickness and was easily controlled. The performance of the proposed model is verified through experimental studies. Based on the statistical analysis results, R2R slot die process can be optimized to guarantee a desired thickness.
