In this paper, a plasma-assisted patterning method for the organic layers of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and its effect on the OLED performances are reported. Oxygen plasma was used to etch the organic layers, using the top electrode consisting of lithium fluoride and aluminum as an etching mask. Although the current flow at low voltages increased for the etched OLEDs, there was no significant degradation of the OLED efficiency and lifetime in comparison with the conventional OLEDs. Therefore, this method can be used to reduce the ohmic voltage drop along the common top electrodes by connecting the top electrode with highly conductive bus lines after the common organic layers on the bus lines are etched by plasma. To further analyze the current increase at low voltages, the plasma patterning effect on the OLED performance was investigated by changing the device sizes, especially in one direction, and by changing the etching depth in the vertical direction of the device. It was found that the current flow increase at low voltages was not proportional to the device sizes, indicating that the current flow increase does not come from the leakage current along the etched sides. In the etching depth experiment, the current flow at low voltages did not increase when the etching process was stopped in the middle of the hole transport layer. This means that the current flow increase at low voltages is closely related to the modification of the hole injection layer, and thus, to the modification of the interface between the hole injection layer and the bottom electrode.

During drilling, the precipitation velocity of cuttings within an annulus depends on the density and configuration of the cuttings, and on the density, viscosity, and rheological characteristics of the drilling fluid. In directional drilling in particular, it is difficult to adjust and control the cuttings. In contrast to vertical drilling, it is very important to evaluate the flow characteristics of a drilling flow field. However, research on the transfer features of cuttings is inadequate. In this study, in order to identify transfer features of cuttings, an experiment was performed under wide-ranging conditions by constructing a slim hole annulus ($44mm{\times}30mm$) device. In this experiment, the particle volume fraction were influenced by particle size, particle concentration within the flow, pipe rotation, flow volume, and inclination of the annulus. In addition, a mathematical formula for volumetric concentration was deduced and compared to the test results and behavior of cuttings under the other drilling condition was made to be predicted. Therefore, this study can provide meaningful data for vertical and horizontal drilling, and for directional drilling.

The electrical properties of stabilized amorphous selenium typical of the material used in direct conversion x-ray imaging devices are reported. Carrier mobility was measured using time-of-flight (TOF) measurements to investigate the transport properties of holes and electrons in stabilized a-Se film. A laser beam with pulse duration of 5 ns and wavelength of 350nm was illuminated on the surface of a-Se with thickness of 400 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The photo induced signals of a-Se film as a function of time were measured. The measured transit times of hole and electron were about 8.73${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 229.17${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively. The hole and electron drift mobilities decreases with increase of electric field up to 4V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. Above 4V/$\mu\textrm{m}$, the measured drift mobilities exhibited no observable dependence with respect to electric field. The experimental results showed that the hole and electron drifting mobility were 0.04584 $\textrm{cm}^2$ V$\^$-1/s$\^$-1/ sand 0.00174 $\textrm{cm}^2$V$\^$-1/s$\^$-1/ at 10 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$.

유기발광소자(OLED)에서 정공 수송층(hole injection layer, HIL)으로 사용되는 N,N'-di-1-naphthyl-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPD)가 정공 주입층(hole injection layer HIL)으로 사용된 PEDOT-PSS 층 위로 진공 증착되었다. PEDOT-PSS 층은 ITO 유리 위에 스핀 코팅되어 제조되었다. 또한, NPD와 $C_{60}$의 공증착에 의해 $C_{60}$이 약 10 wt% 도핑된 NPD-$C_{60}$ 층을 제조하였으며, AFM과 XRD를 이용하여 NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막의 모폴로지 특성을 관찰하였다. 다층 소자를 제조하여 J-Y, L-V 및 전류 효율 특성이 고찰되었다. $C_{60}$박막은 국부적인 결정성 구조를 가지고 있으나, NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막에서는 $C_{60}$ 분자가 균일하게 분산되어 $C_{60}$의 결정성 구조가 확인되지 않았다. 또한, $C_{60}$의 도핑에 의해서 박막의 표면이 균일해지는 것을 확인하였으며, 박막 내의 전류 밀도가 증가됨을 확인하였다. NPD-$C_{60}$ 박막을 이용하여 ITO/PEDOT-PSS/NPD-$C_{60}/Alq_3$/LiF/Al 다층 소자를 제조하였을 때, 소자의 휘도 측면에서 약 80% 향상 효과가 있었으며, 소자 효율 측면에서도 약 25%의 향상을 기대할 수 있었다.

moving photocarrier grating 기술을 이용하여 디지털 X-선 변환물질 a-Se:As 필름에서 As 첨가효과에 관하여 연구하였다. 이 방법은 시료를 조사하기 위하여 주파수를 변화시킨 2개 레이저 빔의 중첩으로 얻어진 움직이는 간섭패턴을 이용한다. 시료의 수송변수는 시료에서 변조 방향으로 유도되는 grating-속도에 의존하는 전류밀도로부터 얻어진다. As 첨가에 따른 a-Se 필름의 전자와 정공 이동도 그리고 재결합 수명을 구하였다. 전자의 이동도는 결함 상태 때문에 As 첨가에 따라 감소하는 반면, 특히 a-Se 필름에 0.3% As 첨가할 때 정공 이동도와 재결합 수명이 증가하였다. MPG 기술로 얻은 As가 첨가된 a-Se 필름의 수송성질을 a-Se:As로 제작한 X-선 디텍터의 X-선 감도와 비교하였다. 실험결과 0.3% As가 첨가된 a-Se으로 제작한 X-선 디텍터가 가장 우수한 X-선 감도를 나타내었다.

고효율 저전력 고휘도를 장점으로 가지고 있는 OLED의 개선을 위하여 수많은 재료와 기술이 연구되어 왔다. 전기적 손실의 방지를 위하여 다양한 재료가 연구되고 있지만 그 중에서도 가장 각광받는 것은 그래핀이다. 그래핀(graphene)은 탄소원자가 육각형 벌집 모양 배열의 격자구조를 가지는 원자 단층 두께의 물질이다. 그래핀은 에너지와 역격자의 k 벡터가 선형적으로 비례하며 전도띠(conduction band)와 가전자띠(valence band)가 한 점에서 만나는 구조를 가지는 특징으로 인해 매우 빠른 전하 이동도(Mobility)를 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 그래핀의 특성을 이용하여 전극 층으로 이용함으로써 소자 특성의 개선이 가능할 것으로 예상되었다. $1{\times}1$ inch Glass에 ITO 대신에 그래핀을 증착한 후 Spin coater를 사용하여 PEDOT을 각각 1,000 rpm, 2,000 rpm으로 도포 하였다. 그 후 HTL (Hole transport latey), ETL (Electron-transport layer), EML (Emissive layer), EIL (Electron injection layer)를 순차적으로 증착 하여 소자를 제작하였다. 발광층에는 유기물질 Alq3를 사용하여 녹색광을 방출하도록 하였다. Spin coater의 rpm에 따라 전도성 고분자의 두께가 결정이 되는데, rpm이 높을수록 두께가 얇으며, 얇을수록 소비전력 효율이 낮다. 하지만 전류밀도 특성이 균일하지 못한 것을 확인하였다. 휘도 효율 특성은 PEDOT의 두께가 얇을수록 동일한 전압에서 휘도가 낮은것을 확인 하였다. 또한 ITO를 이용한 동일 공정의 OLED와 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 낮은 휘도와 전류 효율특성을 보였지만, 전류밀도는 상대적으로 그래핀이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 그래핀 소자의 개선이 이루어진다면 더욱 높은 효율과 휘도를 낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The existing conjugated blue emitting material polymer which has been used for the two-wavelength method white-emission has good stability and low operating voltage as merits, but the imbalanced carrier transport has been indicated as problem area. We have introduced a novel blue emitting material having perylene moiety unit with hole transporting ability and blue emitting property and triazine moiety unit with electron transporting ability into the same host chain. We have synthesized N-[p-(perylen-3-y1)pheny1]methacry1 amide (PPMA) monomer and [N-(2,4-dipheny1-1,3,5-triazine)pheny1 methacry1 amide] (DTPM) monomer having blue light-emitting unit and electron transport unit, respectively by three steps. A novel non-conjugated blue emitting material Poly[N -[p­(perylene-3-y1) pheny1] methacry1 amide-co-N-[P-(4,6-dipheny1-1,3,5-triazine-2-y1]pheny1]methacry1 amide] (PPPMA-co-DTPM) copolymer having electron transporting unit was synthesized by the solution polymerization of PPMA and DTPM monomers with an AIBN initiator and showed high yield of $75{\%}$. It was very soluble in common organic solvents, and the fabrication of the thin film using a spin coating method was very simple. The PPPMA exhibited a good thermal stability.

In this study, we analyzed the electric and optical characteristics by using various deposition rate ($0.5{\AA}$, $1.0{\AA}$ and $1.5{\AA}/s$) in order to enhance the performance in organic light-emitting devices (OLED). The organic multi-layer structures were deposited with NPB ($500{\AA}$ as hole transport layer), Alq3 ($600{\AA}$ as electron transport layer and emission layer) and LiF ($8{\AA}$ as electron injection layer) via SUNIC PLUS200 on Glass/ITO substrates. In this experiment, we examined the relationship between porous state of organic deposition and mobility of the organic materials. Among the three deposition rates, $0.5{\AA}/s$ achieved the highest performance of (10,786cd/m2, 4.387cd/A) comparing with that of $1{\AA}/s$ (7,779cd/m2, 3.281cd/A) and $1.5{\AA}/s$ (5,167cd/m2, 2.693cd/A). We confirmed that low deposition rate helps to arrange organic materials densely and to move easily another atomic location using inter-chain transporting by orbital overlap.

A novel blue-green emitting aluminum complex was developed by employing 8-hydroxyquinoline as co-ligand for enhancement of electron transport and light emission abilities so that the electroluminescent (EL) devices do not need additional electron transport layer. The aluminum complex (PAlQ) of 8-hydroxyquinoline and ${\alpha}$-pyridoin was synthesized The structure of the PAlQ was elucidated by FT-IR, UV-Vis and XPS. The PAlQ complex showed thermal stability up to 350$^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen flow by TGA. The photoluminescence (PL) was measured from solid film of the PAlQ complex on quartz substrate. The EL device was fabricated by the vacuum deposition. The device having the structure of ITO/TPD/PAlQ/Al was studied, where N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl}-N,N'-diphenyl-benzidine (TPD) was used as a hole transporting layer. The EL device emitted a blue-green light.

In the present work, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) have been dispersed alone in the same solvent of the active layer for improving performance parameters of the organic solar cells. Different concentrations of the ZnO NPs have been blended inside active layer of the solar cell based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), which forms the hole-transport network, and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), which forms the electron-transport network. In the present investigations, the ZnO NPs may represent an efficient tool for improving light harvesting through light scattering inside active layer, electron mobility, and electron acceptance strength which tend to improve photocurrent and performance parameters of the investigated solar cell. The fill factor (FF) of the ZnO-doped solar cell increases nearly 14% compared to the non-doped solar cell when the doping is 50%. The present investigations show that ZnO NPs improve power conversion efficiency of the solar cell from 1.23% to 1.64% with increment around 25% that takes place after incorporation of 40% as a volume ratio of the ZnO NPs inside P3HT:PCBM active layer.
