Abstract

Fabrication of barrier layer on PES substrate and plastic OLED device by atomic layer deposition are carried out. Simultaneous deposition of 30nm of $AlO_x$ film on both sides of PES gives film MOCON value of 0.0615g/$m^2$.day (@38$^{\circ}C$, 100% R.H). Introduction of conformal $AlO_x$ film by ALD resulted in enhanced barrier properties for inorganic double layered film including PECVO $SiN_x$. Preliminary life time to 91% of initial luminance (1300 cd/$m^2$ ) for 100nm of PECVD $SiN_x$/30nm of ALD $AlO_x$ coated plastic OLED device was 260 hours.
