Recently, polymeric microlens arrays have become important elements in many applications. Microlens arrays have been used to enhance luminance efficiency and luminance power efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic LEDs. Many processes for fabrication of microlens array are studied. Though the MLA has been fabricated by electroformed mold, LIGA process and reflow method, these methods were required masks, multiple process steps and post processing. In this paper, we proposed rapid and direct UV laser direct fabrication process using colorless liquid photopolymer, NOA60 for polarization activated microlens. The microlens arrays are formed on the NOA60 on glass, after the focused laser energy was irradiated to the material. The diameter of MLA was varied from 42 to 88 ${\mu}m$, and the height from 0.9 to 1.6 ${\mu}m$. The MLA fabricated using NOA60 shows more then 85% transmittance as well as good hardness for optical module.

OLED(Organic Light Emitting Device)는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)의 뒤를 잇는 차세대 디스플레이의 선두주자로서 자체발광형이기 때문에 백라이트 등의 보조광원이 불필요하며, 구동전압이 낮고 넓은 시야각과 빠른 응답속도 등의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 플렉서블 기판을 사용할 수 있어 차세대 디스플레이인 플렉서블 디스플레이에 적합하다. 플렉서블한 디스플레이를 만들기 위해서 플라스틱 기판에 OLED 물질을 사용하여 기존에 무겁고, 깨지기 쉬우며, 변형이 불가능한 유리로 만든 소자 보다 더 가볍고 깨지지 않고 변형이 가능한 플렉서블 디스플레이를 제작 할 수 있다. 그러나 플라스틱 기판은 매우 큰 투습율을 가지고 있어 OLED소자에 적용시키면 공기 중의 수분이나 산소와 접촉이 많아져 쉽게 산화되어 소자의 효율 및 수명이 짧아진다. 또한 OLED에 사용되는 유기물도 산소나 수분에 의해 특성이 급격히 저하되기 때문에 산소 및 수분의 차단은 필수적이다. 이러한 단점을 최소화하기 위해서 PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)로 만든 SiON(Silicon Oxynitride) 박막을 차단막(Passivation layer)으로 사용하였다. PECVD를 이용하여 SiON 박막을 증착시킬 때 RF Power, 공정압력, Distance의 변화에 따른 박막의 결정화도, 수분투습도, 광투과도 등의 특성을 FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Ellipsometer, UV-visible Spectrophotometer, MOCON를 이용하여 SiON 박막의 특성을 고찰하였다.

Polycrystalline Si(polysilicon) TFTs have opened a way for the next generation of display devices, due to their higher mobility of charge carriers relative to a-Si TFTs. The polysilicon W applications extend from the current Liquid Crystal Displays to the next generation Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) displays. In particular, the OLED devices require a stricter control of properties of gate oxide layer, polysilicon layer, and their interface. The polysilicon layer is generally obtained by annealing thin film a-Si layer using techniques such as solid phase crystallization and excimer laser annealing. Typically laser-crystallized Si films have grain sizes of less than 1 micron, and their electrical/dielectric properties are strongly affected by the presence of grain boundaries. Impedance spectroscopy allows the frequency-dependent measurement of impedance and can be applied to inteface-controlled materials, resolving the respective contributions of grain boundaries, interfaces, and/or surface. Impedance spectroscopy was applied to laser-annealed Si thin films, using the electrodes which are designed specially for thin films. In order to understand the effect of grain size on physical properties, the amorphous Si was exposed to different laser energy densities, thereby varying the grain size of the resulting films. The microstructural characterization was carried out to accompany the electrical/dielectric properties obtained using the impedance spectroscopy, The correlation will be made between Si grain size and the corresponding electrical/dielectric properties. The ramifications will be discussed in conjunction with active-matrix thin film transistors for Active Matrix OLED.

The amorphous IZO on flexible substrate (PC) shows similar electrical conductivity and optical transmittance with commercial ITO glass even though it was prepared at $<50\;^{\circ}C$. Moreover, it exhibits little resistance change during 5000 bending cycles, demonstrating good mechanical robustness. A green phosphorescent OLED fabricated on amorphous IZO on flexible PC shows maximum external quantum efficiency of ${\eta}_{ext}=13.7\;%$ and power efficiency of ${\eta}_p=32.7\;lm/W$, which are higher than a device fabricated on a commercial ITO on glass (${\eta}_{ext}=12.4%$ and ${\eta}_p=30.1\;lm/W$) and ITO on flexible PC (${\eta}_{ext}=8.5%$ and ${\eta}_p=14.1\;lm/W$).

In a recent effort to develop polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as promising flat panel display components, measurements of reliable absolute photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) efficiency for polymer materials are required. In this work, we performed the measurement of PL and EL efficiency of luminescent polymers using an integrating sphere technique. The external PL efficiency of MEH-PPV was estimated to be 8 ($\pm$2)% together with the value of 0.02 1m/W for the external EL efficiency. This PL efficiency is in good agreement with published values, indicating that our PL efficiency measurements are somewhat legitimate. We believe this study might contribute to the research and development of organic materials for optoelectronic devices.

We report the synthesis and characterization of new alkoxy substituted spirobifluorene derivatives. The spiro compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains were readily soluble in common organic solvents, having improved film-forming properties and had a significantly reduced tendency to crystallize, resulting in increasing their service lifetime. The results of DSC showed that it was amorphous. The optical and electroluminescent spectra were characterized. Electroluminescence (EL) properties of three-layer light emitting diodes (LED) of $ITO/TPD/spirobifluorene/Alq_3/LiF/Al$ as the active layer were characterized. Blue emission peaking of the EL spectrum of the three-layer device at 402 nm and a luminance of 3,125 $cd/m^2$ were achieved at a drive voltage 12.8 V. The luminous efficiency was obtained to be 1.7 lm/W. The color coordinate in CIE chromaticity is (0.16, 0.09), which is in a pure blue region. The external quantum efficiency was obtained to be 2.0%. The results indicate that the spirobifluorene compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains are strongly potential blue emitters for LED applications.
