  • The effect of the crystallization and activated annealing of Si films using an excimer laser and the new CW blue laser are described and compared with furnace annealing for application in advanced TFTs and for future applications. Pulsed excimer laser annealing (ELA) is currently being used extensively as a low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) process on glass substrates as its efficiency is high in the ultra-violet (UV) region for thin Si films with thickness of 40-60 nm. ELA enables extremely low resistivity relating to high crystallinity for both the n- and p-type Si films. On the other hand, CW blue laser diode annealing (BLDA) enables the smooth Si surface to have arbitral crystal grains from micro-grains to an anisotropic huge grain structure only by controlling its power density. Both annealing techniques are expected to be applied in the future advanced TFT systems.

  • We observed that static electricity has an influence on the etching unformity of dry etching process. When the static electricity was applied from-200[V]to-1000[V] on glass substrates, the etching rate uniformity was changed to 1.5%-15%. In this experiment, the soft X-ray to neutralize static electricity was adopted as ore of neutralization methods. As an experimental result, soft X-ray irradiation improved neutralization capability on the surface of LCD glass substrate within the short time, about 15-30sec. The difference of etching rate uniformity was below 0.5%.

  • DuPont Teijin Films (DTF) have developed engineered substrates specifically for the flexible electronics market. $Teonex^{(R)}Q65$ is a biaxially oriented crystalline polyester with a tailored surface and it is emerging as a competitive material for the base substrate in OLED displays and active matrix backplanes. Given the dimensional reproducibility requirements in the display applications, uncontrolled moisture absorption during the processing cycle could potentially be far more significant than the inherent shrinkage of the base substrate. Understanding these effects and optimising the processing steps involved in device manufacture will be critical to achieving the ultimate performance that can be achieved with the base substrate.

  • The Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to directly solve Maxwell's equations, and the techniques required for optical simulation of Bragg reflections of cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) displays are introduced in this paper. The simulated results show that the color gamut of a ChLC display can be broadened by using of a circular polarizer on top surface of the ChLC film, and are examined by experiments.

  • Nanosilver has intrinsic problem to adhesion on the surface of silica. To improve interfacial properties between nanosilver and silica substrate, a thin titanium film is introduced in this study. The titaniumcoated silica substrates are prepared by sputter technique. The commercial silver nanopaste with size around 3-7nm is used in this study. The results indicate thin layer of titanium can improve the bonding properties of nanosilver and expect to be used in fabrication of TFT display panel.

  • In order to enhance discharge efficiency of Plasma Display Panel (PDP), we used an electride as electron emission layer for PDP during PDP discharge process. As the electride used in this study, $12CaO7Al_2O_3$, has low work function, it is expected to yield high electron emission during glow discharge process. $12CaO7Al_2O_3$ powder was synthesized from $CaCO_3$ and $Al(OH)_3$ powder and Ca treated for realization of electride characteristics. The $12CaO7Al_2O_3$ powder was coated on the surface of dielectric layer of PDP and discharge characteristics of electride material were evaluated.

  • The picture quality of a plasma display panel is very sensitive to the phosphor characteristics such as decay time, surface state, and even longevity of phosphor material in itself. In this work, material characteristics of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$, $Y_2O_3-coated$ $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$, and $YBO_3:Tb$, which are dominant in commercial application, were examined for investigating the aging characteristics of green PDP phosphors. It was found that $Y_2O_3-coated$ $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ are easily degraded at high temperature. However, all the samples were very weak after vacuum annealing. The luminescence intensity was decreased by order of one magnitude.

  • Well-aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared at low temperature of 400 $^{\circ}C$ by utilizing a radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (rf-PECVD) system. The MWCNTs were treated by an external rf plasma source and an ultra-violet laser in order to modify structural defect of carbon nanotube and to ablate possible contamination on carbon nanotube surface. Structural properties of carbon nanotubes were investigated by using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transformer Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). In addition, the emission properties of the MWNTs were measured for the application of field emission display (FED) in near future. Various post treatments were found to improve the field emission property of carbon nanotubes.

  • The alignment film abrasion caused by the rubbing process was quantitatively evaluated via atomic-force microscopy (AFM). First, a patterned alignment film structure, which was molded through the imprint method, was artificially formed. Then, the surface topography of the alignment film was evaluated via AFM after rubbing, and the degree of abrasion of the alignment film was estimated by subtracting the value after rubbing from the value before rubbing. It was recognized that the degree of abrasion increased with an increase in the rubbing strength. The relationship between the number of rubbing cycles and the degree of abrasion of the alignment film was also estimated.

  • 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.
