차세대 디스플레이로서 각광을 받고 있는 OLED는 현재 많은 기업과 대학 연구소에서 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 현재 12인치 이하에서 양산이 되고 있는 저분자 OLED에 비해 고분자 OLED는 공정이 간단하고 대화면, flexible 디스플레이가 가능하다는 많은 장점을 가지고 있지만 소자의 신뢰성과 안정성에 문제를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/Al 구조를 갖는 유기발광다이오드를 제작하여 전기 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 소자의 구조를 최적화시키기 위하여 ITO 기판의 열처리 효과와 패턴폭에 따른 면저항을 측정하고, 발광효율을 극대화시키기 위하여 다층구조로서 정공수송층인 PEDOT:PSS를 첨가시켜 박막의 표면상태를 향상시켜 ITO기판에서 발광층인 MEH-PPV로의 정공수송을 원활하여 효율을 증대시키려 하였다. 이렇게 형성된 소자에 발광물질인 MEP-PPV의 농도를 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, $1.5wt\%$로 변화시켜 박막을 형성하고 $3{\times}10^{-6}Torr$ 상태의 고진공에서 Al 전극을 증착시켜 제작된 소자의 전기${\cdot}$광학적 특성을 측정, 비교하였다.

Display is a key component in electronic devices. OLED is growing very fast recently due to the explosion of the smart phone market although still LCD is the dominating display technology in the display market at the moment. Also needs for the large area and high resolution TVs and flexible displays are increasing these days. Especially flexible display is expected to be one of the key technologies in mobile devices requiring small device size and large display size. Contrary to the conventional displays, flexible display requires organic materials for the substrate, the active driving element and also for the display element. Plastic film as a substrate, organic semiconductor as an active component of the transistor and organic light emitting materials or electronic paper as a display element are studied actively. In this article, mainly backplane technologies such as substrates and the transistor materials for flexible display will be introduced.

The OTFT technologies have been mature almost up to the level of commercialization. In this paper we report the OTFT's applications to the backplane for active matrix electrophoretic, active matrix OLED and to integrated circuits. In addition we also introduce the recently developed technologies for reduction of OTFT's operating voltage.

The digital multimedia environment, centered on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) technology, has transformed our imagination into a diverse experience. The flexible display, which was born as a means of human-machine communication required in a highly information-oriented society, It is creating a new market by linking with Internet of things. ecause the interface of a flexible display can provide a physical form as a result of input or output, user-centered interface design is paramount. Therefore, the researchers of this paper have studied the physical deformation and characteristics of flexible display by user manipulation through literature and case studies. Therefore, the authors of this paper studied the physical deformations and characteristics of flexible displays by user manipulation through literature and case studies. This research suggests the following guidelines for a flexible display interface design for the user experience. First, it must be designed to provide the functionality that users need in a variety of display environments. Second, in using the interface, external factors should be removed from the viewing angle of multi-users. Third, all possible user actions should be considered on flexible displays other than touch and contact. Fourth, flexible design of flexible display requires changing interface design for user experience.

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.

A series novel films of polyimide (PI) and co-polyimide (Co-PI) containing fluorine with colorless, flexible properties was prepared by a two-step process from various commercial aromatic monomers such as 4,4'-(Hexafluoro iso propylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), 2,2'-Bis(Trifluoromethyl) benzidine (TFDB), 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane (AH6FP) and Bis(4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl)sulfone (BAS). Furthermore, these obtained transparent and flexible Co-PI films exhibited excellent thermal stability with the decomposition temperature (at 5% weight loss) around of $500^{\circ}C$ and the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) in the range of $275-350^{\circ}C$.

We report on electrical and optical properties of flexible ITO electrode grown on PET substrate using a specially designed roll-to-roll facing target sputtering (R2R FTS) system at room temperature without conventional cooling drum. Due to effective confinement of high density plasma between ITO targets, we can grow a flexible ITO electrode without cooling drum at room temperature.

Electrical, optical, surface, and structural properties of amorphous indium zinc oxide (IZO) films grown on $SiO_2$/PES/$SiO_2$ substrate by a RF sputtering in pure Ar ambient at room temperature were investigated. A sheet resistance of $13.5\;{\Omega}{\square}$, average transmittance above 85 % in 550 nm, and root mean square roughness of $10.5\;{\AA}$ were obtained even in the IZO layers grown at room temperature in pure Ar ambient. Without addition of oxygen gas during IZO sputtering process, we can obtain high quality IZO anode films from the specially synthesized oxygen rich IZO target. XRD result shows that the IZO films grown at room temperature is completely amorphous structure due to low substrate temperature. In addition, the electrical and optical properties of the flexible OLED fabricated on IZO/$SiO_2$/PES/$SiO_2$ is critically influenced by the electrical properties of a IZO anode. This findings indicate that the IZO/$SiO_2$/PES/$SiO_2$ is a promising anode/substrate scheme for realizing organic based flexible displays.

Amorphous IZO films were deposited on PET substrate by DC magnetron sputtering without substrate heating. In order to investigate effect of reactive gas addition on film properties, 0.2-0.4% of $H_2$ or $O_2$ gas was introduced during the deposition. Deposited IZO films were evaluated with mechanical property, electrical property, and water permeability. In the case of $H_2$ gas addition, mechanical property showed clear degradation compared to $O_2$ gas. In the case of $O_2$ gas, water permeability of the IZO film was increased compared to $H_2$ gas which could be attributed to the low adhesion of the film caused by bombardment of high energy negative oxygen ion. As a result, it is confirmed that water permeability of the film could be strongly affected by adhesion of the film.
