Future electronics such as electronic paper and foldable cellphone are required to be flexible and transparent and should have a high performance. In order to fabricate the flexible electronics using flexibility transfer process, techniques for transferring various devices from rigid substrate onto flexible substrate by elastomeric stamp, have been developed. Adhesion between the elastomeric stamp and various devices is crucial for successful transfer process. The adhesion can be controlled by the thickness of the stamp, separation velocity, contact load, and stamp surface treatment. In this study, we fabricated the bump shape stamp consisting of a UV-curable polymer and investigated the effects of curing condition, separation velocity, and contact load on the adhesion characteristics of bumps. The bumps with hemispherical shape were fabricated using a dispensing process, which is one of the ink-jet printing techniques. Curing conditions of the bumps were controlled by the amount of UV irradiation energy. The adhesion characteristics of bumps are evaluated by adhesion test. The results show that the pull-off forces of bumps were increased and decreased as UV irradiation energy increased. For UV irradiation energies of 300 and 500 mJ/cm², the pull-off forces were increased as the separation velocity increased. The pull-off forces also increased with the increase of contact load. In the case of UV irradiation energy above 600 mJ/cm², however, the pull-off forces were not changed. Therefore, we believe that the bump shape stamp can be applied to roll-based transfer process and selective transfer process as an elastomeric stamp.

본 연구에서는 실란기가 도입된 UV 경화형 우레탄 아크릴레이트를 사용하여 투명성 및 접착성/이형성을 갖춘 silver nanoparticle 전사용 접착 조성물을 제조하였다. Silver nanoparticle이 PET 위에 패터닝되어 있는 Ag/PET 필름과 전사 대상인 PC필름 사이에 제조한 접착 조성물을 도포하고 UV로 광경화한 후, PET를 제거하여 Ag/PC 필름을 제조하였다. 실란기가 도입된 UV 경화형 우레탄 아크릴레이트는 polycaprolactone diol (PCL)과 isophrone diisocyanate (IPDI), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)를 사용하여 합성하였다. APTES의 실란기는 특수 처리된 Ag표면과 반응하여 계면접착력이 개선될 수 있으며, 실란기가 도입된 우레탄 아크릴레이트와 희석제로 투입하는 기능성 아크릴 희석제에 의하여 PC필름과의 접착력을 향상시켰다. 우레탄 아크릴레이트 합성은 FT-IR을 이용하여 분석하였으며, APTES의 몰비와 아크릴 희석제 조성에 따라, 접착 특성과 광학 특성, 전사 특성 등을 비교하였다. 결과적으로, PUA2S1_0.5의 조건으로 제조된 접착 조성물에서 가장 우수한 전사 특성을 확인하였다.

Recently as the micro surface features become higher and diverse in their shapes, the releasing of the molded features becomes more crucial for manufacturing of the micro patterned products. The higher aspect ratio of the features or more complex shape of the features results in larger releasing force, elongation or cohesive failure of the features during the releasing. Another issue would be the uniformity of the released surface features after molding, especially for applications with large area surface. The micro patterned optical film, one of typical applications for micro surface features, consists of two layers, the thermoplastic base film and the micro formed UV resin layer. Therefore two interfaces are typically involved during the forming of this micro featured film; one is between the base film and the UV resin and another is between the resin and the pattern master. To improve the releasing of the molded surface features, the adhesive characteristic was investigated at these two interfaces. A PET film was used as a base film and two UV curable resins with different surface energy were prepared for different adhesiveness. Also the two different pattern masters were employed; one is made from brass-copper alloy and fabricated with PMMA. The adhesiveness at each interface was measured for some combinations of these base film, UV resins and the masters and the effect of this adhesiveness on the releasing was investigated.

The conventional biased vertical alignment (BVA) mode has several advantages such as rubbing- and protrusion-free, wide-viewing angle and stable LC dynamics against external pressure. However manufacturing process of BVA mode is difficult task because the pixel and bias electrode signal are different in each frame. To solve this problem, we investigated the pattern free vertical alignment (PFVA) by using the UV-curable reactive mesogen (RM), in which the LC molecules were made to be pre-tilted. Eventually transmittance and response time in PFVA mode were found to be improved as compared to BVA mode.

Liquid crystal-polymer composite(LCPC) films consisting of a continuous LC phase embedded in a three-dimensional network of polymer matrix are formed by photopolymerization-induced phase separ on. The LCPC films are switched from a light-scattering stats to a highly transparent stats on the application of electric fields. Since the alignment of LC molecular determines the electro-optical properties of films, the requirement for good contrast is to generate the nematic phase at high concentration. On the other hand, the concentration of UV-curable monomer must be increased above some critical value to from the flexible matrix of unbounded polymer. The mixing ratio of LC and UV-curable monomer affects the electro-optical and viscoelastic properties of LCPD films in two opposing ways. By controlling the phase separation process, at an LC fraction of 0.7, the maximum performance of LCPC films has been achieved, the response time of which is 2ms on the application of electric fields.

Maskless laser patterning process is developed using 3rd harmonic Diode Pumped Solid State Laser with near visible wavelength of 355 nm. Photo-sensitive curable polymer is irradiated by UV laser and developed using polymer solvent to obtain quasi-3D patterns. We performed basic experiments for the various process conditions such as laser power, writing speed, laser focus, and polymer optical property to gain the optimal conditions. Experimentally, the patterns of trapezoidal shape were manufactured into dimension of 8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ width and 5.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height. This process could be applied to fabricate a single mode waveguide without expensive mask projection method.

The Conventional patterned vertical alignment (PVA) device shows a very high contrast ratio at normal direction and does not require rubbing process. However it has a disclination area in which the liquid crystal can be collision in the boundary domain region. In this paper, we studied PVA(Z-shape) device in which the liquid crystal can be tilted down in multiple directions stably because the surface pretilt angle is controlled by photopolymerization of the UV - curable reactive mesogen (RM) under a proper condition. Consequently, the device shows improved electro optical properties as compared to conventional PVA mode.
