  • 투명 LED 디스플레이는 정보제공 서비스 및 경관연출 등을 통하여 도시민에게 다양한 볼거리를 제공하고 있으며 다양한 분야에서 수요가 증가하고 있다. 지금까지 투명전극 소재로서 ITO가 가장 많은 비중을 차지하며 사용되어 온 것은 사실이나, 경제성, 제한적 성능 등 한계로 인하여 새로운 소재를 활용한 연구와 기술개발이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 그 중 메탈메쉬는 ITO를 대체한 물질의 85%를 차지하는 신소재로서 저비용 고전도도를 갖고 있어 그 활용도가 높으며, 메탈메쉬를 활용한 투명 LED 디스플레이는 기존 ITO 투명 디스플레이보다 유지보수가 용이하고, 자원절약뿐만 아니라 경제적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 투명 LED 디스플레이 기술의 경제적인 활용 및 시장 확대가 가능할 수 있도록 메탈메쉬를 활용한 LED 투명 디스플레이 Prototype을 제안하는데 목적이 있다. 이에 메탈메쉬를 활용한 투명 LED 디스플레이 개발 방법을 제시하고 이를 기반으로 Prototype을 제작하였으며, ITO와 메탈 메쉬의 특성비교 실험을 통해 투명 LED 디스플레이 개발에 있어 투명전극소재로 메탈메쉬의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • In this study, a new method for fabricating flexible transparent electrodes based on silver nanowire-polymer (AgNW-PEDOT:PSS) composite materials having a mesh pattern formed by a solution-based process without lithography was proposed. By optimizing conditions such as the amount of ultraviolet (UV) photosensitizer injected into the suspension of AgNW and PEDOT:PSS, UV exposure time, and deionized (DI) washing time, a clear and uniform mesh pattern was obtained. For the fabricated AgNW-PEDOT:PSS-based mesh-type electrodes, characteristics such as electrical sheet resistance, light transmittance, haze, and bending flexibility were analyzed according to the mixing ratio of AgNW and PEDOT:PSS included in the suspension. The fabricated mesh electrodes typically exhibited a low electrical sheet resistance of less than 20 Ω/sq while maintaining a high transmittance of 80% or more. In addition, it was confirmed from the results of analyzing the effect of PEDOT:PSS on the characteristics of the mesh-type AgNW-PEDOT electrode that the optical visibility was greatly enhanced by reducing the surface roughness and haze, and the bending flexibility was remarkably improved.

  • With the growing field and growing interest in transparent organic light-emitting diodes (TOLED) in the industry, various attempts are being made to improve the transmittance and performance of TOLED. TOLEDs are expected to be used in next-generation displays such as mixture reality (MR) displays, displayable windows, televisions, etc. This study presents a mesh TOLED with better transmittance and luminescence characteristics than existing TOLEDs through an in-situ vacuum deposition method that does not require additional processes such as photolithography and etching. In this study the mesh TOLED's cathode consists of Mg: Ag 1:9 electrode. Mesh patterns are interconnected with a 6 nm layer of interlayer. We approached transmittance improvement up to 30% at 555 nm at the cathode electrode with similar current injection character, also we improved lumination characteristics up to 23% at 7 V driving condition.

  • The 'ITO/Ag/ITO' multilayers as a highly conductive and transparent electrode, even with the optimum thickness conditions, the transmittances were much lower than those of a single ITO layer on some ranges of the visible wavelength. In order to improve the transmittance, Ag layer was formed with mesh structure. Where, the thickness of the Ag layer was about 10 nm and the space between the Ag lines was varied from 2.9 ㎛ to 19.6 ㎛ with the fixed Ag width of about 1.2 ㎛ in order to vary an open ratio of the Ag mesh structure. The transmittance and sheet resistance in the ITO/Mesh-Ag/ITO multilayer structure were analyzed depending on the open ratio. As a result, a trade off in the open ratio was necessary in order to obtain the transmittance as high as possible and the sheet resistance as possible low. By the open ratio of about 86%, in the ITO/Mesh-Ag/ITO multilayer structure, the transmittance was nearly same as the single ITO layer and the sheet resistance was about 62.3 Ω/.

  • Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is an important part in the construction of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) because of its low sheet resistance, sufficient light transparent ability and high photoelectrical response as a porous photo-electrode material of DSCs. However, the use of TCO for the two DSC electrodes can result in significant cost increase for the less effective DSCs compared to Si based solar cell. Therefore, the replacement of TCO is required for the commercial production of DSCs. In this study, TCO electrodes are replaced by stainless steel mesh. The 3.44[%] efficiency of the prepared TCO-less DSCs sample was obtained.

  • 본 논문은 향후 투명 디스플레이, 스마트글래스(smart glass) 등의 그 활용도가 증가 추세에 있는 투명전극과 관련된 논문이며, 본 논문에서는 투명 안테나 등의 투명 고주파 수동소자 설계 시, 투명 디스플레이 등에 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 ITO(Indium-Tin-Oxide)을 이용한 박막형(thin film type) 투명전극의 낮은 전기적 특성(면저항>$5({\Omega}/sq)$)으로 인한 성능저하를 개선하고자, 고주파 소자에 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 도체인 구리선(copper wire)으로 구현되는 정방형 메탈메쉬(square metal mesh)를 이용하여 투명전극을 구현하고, 이를 기본 단위로 하여 투명 패치 안테나를 구현하였고, 그 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 투명전극의 기본 설계 블록인 정방형 메탈메쉬의 광학적 특성(광 투과도) 및 전기적 특성(면저항)을 측정 및 분석하였고, 이를 이용하여 투명 패치 안테나를 설계, 측정, 분석하였다. 또한, 정방형 메탈메쉬는 광 투과도를 높이기 위해 얇은 구리선(w=0.2 mm)을 사용하였으며, 망(mesh) 크기(l=1, 2 mm)에 따른 광 투과도와 안테나 성능(방사이득, 방사패턴)과의 관계를 분석하였다. 투명 안테나 성능 측정 결과, 안테나 성능은 정방형 메탈메쉬의 광학적 특성과 반비례하며, 실제 활용 시에는 광학적 특성, 전기적 특성, 제작비용을 종합적으로 고려하여, 응용에 따른 투명 안테나의 활용이 필요하다.

  • Flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) have recently attracted a great deal of attention owing to rapid advances in flexible electronic devices, such as flexible displays, flexible photovoltanics, and e-papers. As the performance and reliability of flexible electronics are critically affected by the quality of TCE films, it is imperative to develop TCE films with low resistivity and high transparency as well as high flexibility. Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been the most dominant transparent conducting material due to its high optical transparency and electrical conductivity. However, ITO is susceptible to cracking and delamination when it is bent or deformed. Therefore, various types of flexible TCEs, such as carbon nanotube, conducting polymers, graphene, metal mesh, Ag nanowires (NWs), and metal mesh have been extensively investigated. Among several options to replace ITO film, Ag NWs and metal mesh have been suggested as the promising candidate for flexible TCEs. In this paper, we focused on Ag NWs and metal mesh, and summarized the current development status of Ag NWs and metal mesh. The several critical issues such as high contact resistance and haze are discussed, and newly developed technologies to resolve these issues are also presented. In particular, the flexibility and durability of Ag NWs and metal mesh was compared with ITO electrode.

  • We prepared a flexible and transparent CuO/Cu/CuO multilayer electrodes on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a specially designed roll-to-roll sputtering system at room temperature for GFF-type touch screen panels (TSPs). By the continuous roll-to-roll sputtering of the CuO and Cu layer, we fabricated a flexible CuO(150nm)/Cu(150nm)/CuO(150nm) multilayer electrodes with a sheet resistance of $0.289{\Omega}/square$, resistivity of $5.991{\times}10^{-23}{\Omega}-cm$, at the optimized condition without breaking the vacuum. To investigate the feasibility of the CuO/Cu/CuO multilayer as a transparent electrode for GFF-type TSPs, we fabricated simple GFF-type TSPs using the diamond patterned CuO/Cu/CuO electrode on PET substrate as function of mesh line width. Using diamond patterned CuO/Cu/CuO electrode of mesh line $5{\mu}m$ with sheet resistance of 38 Ohm/square, optical transmittance of 90% at 550 nm and an average transmittance of 89% at wavelength range from 380 to 780 nm, we successfully demonstrated GFF-type touch panel screens (TPSs). The successful operation of GFF-type TPSs with CuO/Cu/CuO multilayer electrodes indicates that the CuO/Cu/CuO multilayer is a promising transparent electrode for large-area capacitive-type TPSs due to its low sheet resistance and high transparency.

  • Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films have many disadvantages, such as rarity, possible exhaustion, process temperature limitations, and brittleness on a flexible substrate. In particular, as display technology moves toward flexible displays, TCO will become completely unsuitable due to its brittleness. To address theses issue, many researchers have been studying TCO substitutes. In recent efforts, metal nanowires, conducting polymers, carbon nanotube networks, graphene films, hybrid thin films, and metal meshes/grids have been evaluated as candidates to replace TCO electrodes. In this study, we fabricated the TCO film with Ag meshes shape using polystyrene (PS) beads monolayer on the substrate. The PS beads were used as a template to create the mesh pattern. We fabricated the monolayer on the flexible substrate (PES) with the well-aligned PS beads. Electrodes with Ag mesh shape were formed using this patterned monolayer. We could fabricated the Ag mesh electrode with the sheet resistance with $8ohm{\Omega}/{\Box}$.

  • The 'field-effect' underlies the operation of most conventional electronic devices. However, effective control and implementation of the field-effect in semiconductor devices are limited due to screening of the electric-field by conducting electrodes. Thus far, the electronic devices have necessarily been designed to avoid or minimize the electric-field screening effect. As an alternative approach to this, a new type of conducting electrodes which would be transparent to both visible light and electric-field while being electrically conductive have been developed. Here, we define these electrodes as 'electric-field transparent electrodes' and provide a review on related work. Particular attention is paid to the material selection and design strategies to enhance the electric-field transparency of the electrodes while maintaining good electrical conductivity and optical transparency. We then introduce potential applications of the electric-field transparent electrodes in electronic and optoelectronic devices.
