This paper provides an overview on the characteristics of a-SiC:H barrier film deposited for flexible display applications. Key characteristics such as high crack resistance, high thermal/hydro stability, excellent adhesion to the polymer substrate, as well as very low permeance has been demonstrated. The excellence of this barrier film has been shown from competitive analysis compared with other barrier coating materials. Finally, flexible Polymer Light Emitting Diode (PLED) test pixels have been fabricated on the barrier coated plastic substrate, demonstrating the viability of the device with lifetime data.

We prepared flexible transparent conducting electrodes by spray coating of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks on PET substrate and have demonstrated their use as transparent anodes for flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The flexible CNT electrode produced by spray coating method shows relatively low sheet resistance ($150{\sim}220{\Omega}/sq.$) and high transmittance of ~60% even though it was prepared at room temperature. In addition, CNT electrode/PET sample exhibits little resistance change during 2000 bending cycles, demonstrated good mechanical robustness. Using transparent CNT electrode, it is readily possible to achieve performances comparable to commercial ITO-based OLEDs. This indicates that flexible CNT electrode is alternative anode materials for conventional ITO anode in flexible OLEDs.

We fabricated an array consisting of organic TFTs(OTFT) and organic LEDs (OLED) in order to demonstrate the possible application of OTFTs to flexible active matrix OLED (AMOLED). The panel was composed of $64{\times}64$ pixels on 4 inch size polyethylene-terephehalate (PET) substrate in which each pixel had one OTFT integrated with one green OLED. The panel successfully displayed some letters and pictures by emitting green light with a luminance of $1.5\;cd/m^2$ at 6 V, which was controlled by the gate voltage of OTFT.

IGZO TFTs were fabricated by conventional photolithography and wet-etching processes on metal substrates for the flexible display. The characteristics of TFTs on metal substrates were comparable to those of TFTs on glass substrates. Moreover, AM-OLED panels based on IGZO TFT arrays on metal substrates were successfully driven, for the first time.

We analyze the global market for flexible electronic circuits, technical considerations, and analyze the market for application areas and regions. In the market analysis of the application field, the display field has the greatest influence in terms of market size and annual growth rate, and the OLE D lighting market size is expected to grow by nearly 50% in 2026. The multilayer flexible electronics, which dependently requires the semiconductor technology, has a larger market size than other structures and its growth rate is relatively large, leading the market and will be further analyzed in depth. The market size of multilayer flexible electronics applied to display field is expected to show an annual growth rate of 21.1% from $2.7 billion in 2017 to $9.8 billion in 2026, and the OLED market is expected to grow by 75.2% during the same periods. Recently, as electronic products have been miniaturized and advanced, and robust installation in a small space is required, companies that preoccupy multilayer structure or rigid flexible electronic circuit technology have an advantage in competitiveness, so many companies are trying to obtain this technology. These efforts are systematically supported by many countries because they can achieve mutual growth by strengthening the competitiveness of the application field and the same industry. In the case of Korea, a support system is established, but it is required to expand and activate it, and to localize manufacturing equipment and materials.

플렉시블 OLED 소자에서 주요한 역할을 하는 기판은 디스플레이의 성능, 신뢰성과 가격을 결정한다. 플렉시블 OLED소자의 기판으로는 PET, PC, PES, PEN과 같은 고분자 계열의 기판이 많이 사용되고 있지만 거칠기 등의 문제가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰로오스 종이를 사용하는 투명 플렉시블 OLED 소자를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발한 셀룰로오스 종이의 표면 거칠기는 $3.1{\AA}$이었으며, 투과도는 97.6%로서 PET기판 보다 우수한 특성을 보여주었다. 셀룰로오스 종이를 기판위에 양극으로 Ni을 이용하는 녹색 발광 플렉시블 OLED소자를 구현하였다.

We have demonstrated a flexible and full-color OTFT-OLED display. The display has a top-emitting pixel structure with a resolution of 80 ppi, which can be achieved by developed integration architecture of OTFTs. The 0.3-mm-thick flexible display exhibits peak brightness over 100 nit with a contrast ratio greater than 1000:1.

The use of plastic substrates enables new applications, such as flexible display devices, and other flexible electronic devices, using low cost, roll-to-roll (R2R) fabrication technologies. One of the limitations of polymeric substrate in these applications is that oxygen and moisture rapidly diffuse through the material and subsequently degrade the electro-optical devices. GE Global Research (GEGR) has developed a plastic substrate technology comprised of a superior high-heat polycarbonate ($LEXAN^{(R)}$) substrate film and a unique transparent coating package that provides the ultrahigh barrier (UHB) to moisture and oxygen,chemical resistance to solvents used in device fabrications, and a high performance transparent conductor. This article describes the coating solutions for polycarbonate ($LEXAN^{(R)}$) films and its compatibility with OLED device fabrication processes.
