A plastic substrate for flexible display is developed. The gas barrier and optical properties of the substrate is improved through depositing silicon oxide/nitride layer and coating polymer layer on plastic film by sputtering process and wet coating process. Roll to roll processes will guarantee the productivity in the whole production process of the plastic substrate.

A plastic substrate for flexible display is developed. The gas barrier property in the substrate is improved through depositing metal and metal oxide multi layer on plastic film by PVD process. The metal/metal-oxide multiplayer on plastic film shows excellent gas barrier property and optical property.

We have developed flexible MIM LCDs by using plastic film substrate. MIM array and cells were fabricated with low temperature process and material technology. As an insulator of MIM, SiNx was introduced at the low temperature allowable for plastic substrate. The fabricated MIM devices show high electrical performance for LC driving. We discuss its process and characteristics.

We report high performance poly (3-hexylthiophene) organic field-effect transistors fabricated on a plastic substrate. The polymer active channel layer was directly printed by the rubber stamp printing method with a pre-patterned elastomer stamp. As a result. organic transistors having average field-effect mobility of 0.079 $cm^2/Vs$ and on/off ratio of $10^4{\sim}10^5$ were realized on a plastic substrate. Also, through the investigation of the molecular ordering of rubber-stamp-printed poly (3-hexylthiophene) films using synchrotron grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction measurements, the films were found to have edge-on structure which is favorable in realizing high performance organic transistors.

We fabricated flexible electronic paper display(EPD) by using toner particles on plastic (PC) substrate. We observed the relationship between contrast ratio and changes of rib structures. One is a fabrication of ribs on bottom substrate. The display with ribs on bottom substrate had higher contrast ratio about 46% than display with ribs on top substrate. The other is a change of density of rib. The less density of ribs fabricated, the higher the contrast ratio become.

Flexible displays such as plastic-based liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode displays (OLEDDs) have been researched and developed at KETI since 1997. The plastic film substrate is very weak to heat and pressure compared to glass substrate, that its fabrication process is limited to 110$^{\circ}C$ and low pressure. The ITO films were deposited on the bare plastic film substrate by rf-magnetron sputtering. Moreover, in order to maintain uniform cell gap and pressure on the plastic film substrate, we utilized newly-invented jig and fabrication process. Electro-optical characteristics were better than or equivalent to those of typical glass LCDs though it is thinner, lighter-weight, and more robust than glass LCDs.

Inorganic-organic hybrid multilayers were formed on the plastic substrate to enhance the barrier properties of substrate to water vapor and oxygen transport. Plasma pretreatment of substrate with $Ar/O_2$ lead to adhesion improvement and the densification of inorganic layer on the substrates. Combination of $SiO_xN_y$ layer and silanenanoclay composite layer offered quite good barrier properties (WVTR and OTR) to PES substrate.

A 14.1-inch reflective type Thin Film Transistor-Electric Phoretic Display was developed at the esolution of 1280 x 900 lines on plastic substrate. All of the processes of TFT were carried out below $100\;^{\circ}C$ on PES plastic films. The process conditions of TFT were optimized for large area TFT-LCD on plastic substrate. At $60^{\circ}C$ high temperature during 160hours, TFT does not delaminate and IV characteristic is also satisfied.

Flexible displays such as plastic based LCDs and organic light-emitting diodes for mobile communication devices have been researched and developed at KETI in KOREA since 1997. The Plastic film substrate has so poor thermal tolerance and non-rigidness that the fabrication of active devices and panel assembly have to perform at low temperature and pressure. In addition, high thermal expansion of the substrate is also a serious problem for reliable metallic film deposition. In this paper, we investigated particularly on the fundamental characteristics of various plastic substrates and then, suggested novel methods that improve the fabrication processes of plastic LCD panel. In order to maintain stable substrate surface and uniform cell gap during panel assembly, we utilized newly-invented iii and vacuum chuck. Electro-optical characteristics of fabricated plastic LCD are better than or equivalent to those of typical glass based LCDs though it is thinner, lighter-weight and more robust.
