With the growing field and growing interest in transparent organic light-emitting diodes (TOLED) in the industry, various attempts are being made to improve the transmittance and performance of TOLED. TOLEDs are expected to be used in next-generation displays such as mixture reality (MR) displays, displayable windows, televisions, etc. This study presents a mesh TOLED with better transmittance and luminescence characteristics than existing TOLEDs through an in-situ vacuum deposition method that does not require additional processes such as photolithography and etching. In this study the mesh TOLED's cathode consists of Mg: Ag 1:9 electrode. Mesh patterns are interconnected with a 6 nm layer of interlayer. We approached transmittance improvement up to 30% at 555 nm at the cathode electrode with similar current injection character, also we improved lumination characteristics up to 23% at 7 V driving condition.

In case of preparation of ITO thin film for using top electrode of Top-emitting Organic Light Emitting Diodes(TOLEDs), the ITO thin film should be prepared at room temperature and low oxygen gas flow condition in order to reduced the damage of organic layer due to the bombardment of highly energetic particles such as negative oxygen ions which accrued from the plasma. In this study, the ITO thin film with high optical transmittance and low resistivity prepared as a function of oxygen gas (0 ${\~}$ 0.8 sccm) and Ar gas was fixed at 20 sccm by the Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) method. The electrical and optical properties of ITO thin films were measured by Hall effect measurement, UV/VIS spectrometer, respectively In the results, we obtained the ITO thin film with lowest resistivity($3{\times}10^{-4} {\Omega}{\cdot} cm$) at oxygen gas flow 0.2 sccm and optical transmittance over $80\%$ at oxygen gas flow over 0.2 sccm.

TOLED(Transparent, Organic Light Emitting Diodes) based edutainment system has been studied to solve the actual feeling training and educational experience problem of e-learning. However, edutainment system using TOLED has a problem for the non-detection of multi marker array and rotate marker array, and it has problem for the dissonance phenomena caused by Illumination Environment between real world and virtual object. It also has a do not provide services through a variety of devices problem. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a system that provides a realistic actual feeling edutainment contents by recognizes the marker array rotation and a plurality of marker arrangement via an improved marker detection technique. And to unify the real space and virtual space of the lighting environment through a nested block layer.

In this study, we prepared the ITO thin film for TOLED(Top-emitting OLED) or flexible display at room temperature using the FTS(Facing Targets Sputtering Apparatus). We observed characteristics of deposited thin films as a function of sputtering conditions. XRD patterns were independence trom oxygen gas flow and input current. But electrical and optical properties were strongly dependence. In the results, we could prepare good properties of ITO thin films resistivity of $4.27X10^{-4}[\Omega-cm]$, transmittance of over 80% at working gas pressure 1[mTorr], input current 0.6[A], oxygen gas ratio 0.3[sccm], at room temperature.

We have developed the transparent passivation layer for transparent organic light-emitting devices (TOLEDs) using CsCl layer. The CsCl passivation layer improves the optical transmittance of Ca/Ag double layer which have used as a semitransparent cathode, resulting in substantial increase of the luminance by the enhanced light extraction out of the cathode surface of the TOLEDs.

The ITO thin films for Top-Emitting Organic Light Emitting Devices (TOLEDs) were prepared on cell(LiF/Organic Layer/Bottom Electrode : ITO ) by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system under different sputtering conditions which were varying gas pressure, input current and distance of target to target($D_{T-T}$). As a function of sputtering conditions, I-V characteristics of prepared ITO thin films on cell were measured by 4156A (HP). In the results, when the In thin films were deposited at $D_{T-T}$ 70mm and working pressure 1mTorr, the leakage current of ITO/cell was about 11[V] and 5E-6[$mA/cm^2$].

We report on plasma damage free-sputtering technologies for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic thin rim transistor (OTFT) and flexible displays by using a box cathode sputtering (BCS) method. Specially designed BCS system has two facing targets generating high magnetic fields ideally entering and leaving the targets, perpendicularly. This target geometry allows the formation of high-density plasma between targets and enables us to realize plasma damage free sputtering on organic layer without protection layer against plasma. The OLED with top cathode prepared by BCS shows electrical and optical characteristics comparable to OLED with thermally evaporated Mg-Ag cathode. It was found that TOLED with ITO or IZO top cathode layer prepared by BCS has much lower leakage current density ($1\times10^{-5}$ mA/cm2 at -6V) than that ($1\times10^{-1}\sim10^{\circ}mA/cm^2$)of OLED prepared by conventional DC sputtering system. This indicates that BCS technique is a promising electrode deposition method for substituting conventional thermal evaporation and dc/rf sputtering in fabrication process of organic based optoelectronics.

IZO/Al multilayer anode films for flexible top emitting organic light emitting diodes (TOLEDs) were grown on PEN (polyethylen-enaphthelate) substrate using twin target sputter (TTS) system. To investigate electrical and optical properties of IZO/Al multilayer films, 4-point probe method and UV/Vis spectrometer were used, respectively. From a IZO/Al multilayer films with 100nm-thick Al, sheet resistance of $1.4{\Omega}/{\square}$ and reflectance of above 62% at a range of 500~550nm wavelength could be obtained, In addition, structural and surface properties of IZO/Al multilayer films were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FESEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) and AES (auger electron spectroscope), respectively. Moreover, flexibility of IZO/Al multilayer anode films were examined by bending test method.

We have investigated the light extraction efficiency of large-area OLED lighting panels with a microlens array (MLA) or external scattering layer (ESL) by ray tracing simulation. The application of MLA and ESL to transparent OLEDs (TOLEDs) with an auxiliary metal electrode is also studied. It is found that MLA shows higher light extraction efficiency, compared with ESL. However, we have demonstrated that ESL is more suitable for TOLEDs having dual-sided equal light emission. Namely, equal light emission from the front and rear surfaces of TOLED can be achieved by increasing the scattering particle density of ESL. To compensate for a loss in light emission induced by auxiliary metal electrode, we come out with an OLED structure partially covered with MLA at the outer surface of glass substrate, which is aligned with metal electrode. With this scheme, it is observed that the light extraction efficiency can be boosted more than 20% from opaque OLED and 50% from transparent OLED.
