Three technical obstacles must be overcome to build a fruitful business in the nascent industry of flexible microelectronics: the self-heating effect of thin film transistors (TFTs), the thermal and mechanical durability of flexible devices, and the cost issue. The self-heating effect is controlled through TFT shape, TFT electrical performance, dimensional reduction and energy-efficient circuits. Plastic engineering is one of the keys to solving thermal and mechanical durability problems faced by flexible microelectronics devices. For the Suftla flexible microelectronics business to be viable, Suftla transfer yield must be sufficiently high to keep down device cost. Improving the transfer yield is not easy, but it is the same challenge already faced and cleared in the TFT liquid crystal display industry.

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.

대용량, 고속의 멀티미디어 서비스가 일반화됨에 따라 컨텐츠를 저장하는 서버의 저장 장치 또한 대용량화되고 있다. 그러나 서버를 구성하는 다른 하드웨어 구성 요소에 비해 상대적으로 느린 저장 장치의 입출력 속도와 물리적 또는 논리적인 오류는 시스템 전반의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 컨텐츠의 지속적인 증가로 인한 유연한 확장성이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 소프트웨어 RAID 사용하여 저장 장치의 성능을 향상시키고 신뢰성을 높였으며, LVM을 사용하여 저장 장치에 확장성을 부여하였다. 리눅스 커널 2.4.x에서 제공하는 이러한 기능들을 사용하여 신뢰성과 확장성이 있는 저장 장치를 구현하고 성능을 평가하였다.

Tactile sensation is one of the most important sensory functions for human perception of objects. Recently, there have been many technical challenges in the field of tactile display as well as tactile sensing. In this paper, we propose an innovative tactile display device based on soft actuator technology with ElectroActive Polymer(EAP). This device offers advantageous features over existing devices with respect to intrinsic flexibility, softness, ease of fabrication and miniaturization, high power density, and cost effectiveness. In particular, it can be adapted to various geometric configurations because it possesses structural flexibility, so it can be worn on any part of the human body such as finger, palm, and arm etc. It can be extensively applied as a wearable tactile display, a Braille device for the visually disabled, and a human interface in the future. A new design of the flexible actuator is proposed and its basic operational principles are discussed. In addition, a wearable tactile display device with $4{\times}5$ actuator array(20 actuator cells) is developed and its effectiveness is confirmed.

An OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode) device based on the emissive electroluminescent layer a film of organic materials. OLED is used for many electronic devices such as TV, mobile phones, handheld games consoles. ULVAC's mass production systems are indispensable to the manufacturing of OLED device. ULVAC is a manufacturer and worldwide supplier of equipment and vacuum systems for the OLED, LCD, Semiconductor, Electronics, Optical device and related high technology industries. The SMD Series are single-substrate sputtering systems for deposition of films such as metal films and TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) films. ULVAC has delivered a large number of these systems not only Organic Evaporating systems but also LTPS CVD systems. The most important technology of thin-film encapsulation (TFE) is preventing moisture($H_2O$) and oxygen permeation into flexible OLED devices. As a polymer substrate does not offer the same barrier performance as glass substrate, the TFE should be developed on both the bottom and top side of the device layers for sufficient lifetimes. This report provides a review of promising thin-film barrier technologies as well as the WVTR(Water Vapor Transmission Rate) properties. Multilayer thin-film deposition technology of organic and inorganic layer is very effective method for increasing barrier performance of OLED device. Gases and water in the organic evaporating system is having a strong influence as impurities to OLED device. CRYO pump is one of the very useful vacuum components to reduce above impurities. There for CRYO pump is faster than conventional TMP exhaust velocity of gases and water. So, we suggest new method to make a good vacuum condition which is CRYO Trap addition on OLED evaporator. Alignment accuracy is one of the key technologies to perform high resolution OLED device. In order to reduce vibration characteristic of CRYO pump, ULVAC has developed low vibration CRYO pumps to achieve high resolution alignment performance between Metal mask and substrate. This report also includes ULVAC's approach for these issues.
