With the development of the Internet of Things, the use of flexible displays has become widespread. In particular, the use of curved, bendable, and rollable displays is increasing. Flexible display production processes include various important components such as lamination material, flexible substrates, and adhesives. Among them, improvement of the lamination process comprises a large proportion of efforts for further development. In this paper, we attempt to improve the transmittance of the display substrate by performing a bubble removal process after adhesion. The transmittance of the glass substrate with the bubble removal process was 5~12% higher than that of the substrate without the bubble removal process. The fill-strength after the bubble removal process was improved by 21.4%, and the shear-strength was improved by 43.9%.

최근 유연 디스플레이에 관한 대중의 관심이 증대됨에 따라 롤러블(rollable), 폴더블(foldable) 디스플레이와 같은 우수한 폼 팩터(form factor)를 지닌 차세대 유연(flexible) 디스플레이가 주목받고 있다. 유연 디스플레이의 기계적 신뢰성 확보 측면에서, 내부 절연막으로 활용되는 실리콘 질화물(SiN_x) 박막은 구동 중 발생하는 응력에 매우 취약하므로 기계적 물성을 정확히 파악하여 파손을 예측하고 패널의 전기적 단락을 방지하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는, ~130 nm, ~320 nm 두께의 SiN_x 박막 박막 상부에 ~190 nm 두께의 유기 나노 보강층(PMMA, PS, P3HT)을 코팅하여 이중층 구조로 인장함으로써 매우 취성한 SiN_x 박막의 탄성 계수와 인장 강도 및 연신율을 측정하는 데 성공하였다. 챔버 압력 및 증착 파워를 조절한 공정 조건(A: 1250 mTorr, 450 W/B: 1000 mTorr, 600 W/C: 750 mTorr, 700 W)을 통해 제작된 ~130 nm SiN_x 의 탄성계수는 A: 76.6±3.5, B: 85.8±4.6, C: 117.4±6.5 GPa로, ~320 nm SiN_x는 A: 100.1±12.9, B: 117.9±9.7, C: 159.6 GPa로 측정되었다. 결과적으로, 동일 공정 조건 하에서 SiN_x 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 탄성 계수가 증가하는 경향을 확인하였으며, 유기 나노 보강층을 활용한 인장 시험법은 파손되기 쉬운 취성 박막의 기계적 물성을 높은 정밀도로 측정하는 데 효과적이었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법은, 취약한 디스플레이용 박막의 정량적인 기계적 물성 파악을 가능케하여 강건한 롤러블, 폴더블 디스플레이의 설계에 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Nanopiezotronics is an emerging area of nanotechnology with a variety of applications that include piezoelectric field-effect transistors and diodes, self-powered nanogenerators and biosystems, and wireless nano/biosensors. By exploiting coupled piezoelectric and semiconducting characteristics, it is possible for nanowires, nanobelts, or nanorods to generate rectifying current and potential under external mechanical energies such as body movement (handling, winding, pushing, and bending) and muscle stretching, vibrations (acoustic and ultrasonic waves), and hydraulic forces (body fluid and blood flow). Fully transparent, flexible (TF) nanogenerators that are operated by external mechanical forces will be presented. By controlling the density of the seed layer for ZnO nanorod growth, transparent ZnO nanorod arrays were grown on ITO/PES films, and a TF conductive electrode was stacked on the ZnO nanorods. The resulting integrated TF nanodevice (having transparency exceeding 70 %) generated a noticeable current when it was pushed by application of an external load. The output current density was clearly dependent on the force applied. Furthermore, the output current density depended strongly on the morphology and the work function of the top electrode. ZnO nanorod-based nanogenerators with a PdAu, ITO, CNT, and graphene top electrodes gave output current densities of approximately $1-10\;uA/cm^2$ at a load of 0.9 kgf. Our results suggest that our TF nanogenerators are suitable for self-powered TF device applications such as flexible self-powered touch sensors, wearable artificial skins, fully rollable display mobile devices, and battery supplements for wearable cellular phones.
