We have fabricated blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) on a plastic substrate. The solution coated poly (9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) host doped with Bis (3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl_(2-carboxypyridyl)irdium(III) (FIrPic) guest molecules was used as an hole transporting emission layer. The device structure was ITO/PVK:FIrpic (50 nm, xwt%)/TAZ 50 nm)/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al (100 nm). The concentration of FIrpic molecule was varied from 1 wt% to 10 wt%. The OLED on plastic substrate exhibited maximum current efficiency of 18 cd/A with 5 wt% FIrpic molecules were doped into the PVK layer.

레이저를 이용한 폴리머의 융착기술은, 자동차산업에서의 다양한 적용분야에 힘입어 새로운 접합기술로 각광을 받고 있다. 현재까지는, 대부분 작고 간단한 형상의 제품을 융착하는 분야에 많이 적용되어 왔으며, 튼 사이즈의 제품을 대량으로 생산하는 공정에서는 레이저융착이 가지는 다양한 장점에도 불구하고, 프로세스의 안정성, 사출후의 제품변형에 따른 갭의 관리, 작업속도등에 대한 이유로 본격적인 적용을 기피하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 배경에 의하여 개발된 하이브리드방식(레이저빔+할로겐램프)의 폴리머융착 시스템은, 다이오드레이저에서 출력되는 $800{\sim}980nm$의 레이저파장과 할로겐 램프에서 방사되는 적외선영역의 파장을 동시에 사용함으로써 프로세스의 안장성과 융착효율을 향상시켰다.

In this paper, a new automatic punching system that generates pinholes expressing texts or images on a plastic plate is developed. The pin-holed plate is used as a new glamorous display board reflecting colourful lights from the light emitting diode (LED) installed on the edge side of the plate. The punching system has four actuators which work together to make multiple holes with accurate position and depth on the plastic plate. For even reflection of the lights from texts or images on the board and fast production of the pin-holed boards, we developed an accurate actuating structure of the system cooperating with a PID control algorithm. We also built a GUI-based integrated control system to help users easily design luminous texts or images on the plastic plate. Also, we conducted a performance test of the system to verify the punching speed and depth control of the pin holes on the plastic plate.

In this study, we have fabricated a one-dimensional fiber-optic dosimeter for electron beam therapy dosimetry. Each fiber-optic dosimeter has an organic scintillator with a plastic optical fiber and it is embedded and arrayed in the plastic phantom to measure one-dimensional high energy electron beam profile of clinical linear accelerator. The scintillating lights generated from each sensor probe are guided by plastic optical fibers to the multi-channel photodiode amplifier system. We have measured one-dimensional electron beam profiles in a PMMA phantom according to different field sizes and energies of electron beam. Also, the isodose and three-dimensional percent depth dose curves in a PMMA phantom are obtained using a one-dimensional fiber-optic dosimeter with different electron beam energies.

지난 몇 년 동안, 투명 비정질 산화물 반도체는 유기 발광 다이오드, 플렉서블 전자 소자, 솔라 셀, 바이오 센서 등 많은 응용분야에 연구되고 있다. 투명 비정질 산화물 반도체 그룹들 중, 특히 비정질 IGZO 박막 트랜지스터는 비정질 상태임에도 불구하고 높은 이동도와 낮은 동작 전압으로 훌륭한 소자 특성을 보인다. 이러한 고성능의 IGZO 박막 트랜지스터는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링이나 pulsed laser deposition과 같은 고진공 장비를 이용하여 이미 여러 그룹에서 제작되고 발표되었다. 하지만 진공 증착 시스템은 제조 비용의 절감이나 디스플레이 패널의 대면적화에 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있고, 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 용액 공정은 하나의 해결책이 될 수 있다. 용액 공정의 가장 큰 장점으로는 저온 공정이 가능하기 때문에 글라스나 플라스틱 기판에서 대면적으로 제작할 수 있고 진공 장비가 필요없기 때문에 제조 비용을 획기적으로 절감시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 high-k 게이트 절연막과 IGZO 채널 층을 용액 공정을 이용하여 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하고 그에 따른 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. IGZO의 몰 비율은 In, Ga, Zn 순으로 각각 0.2 mol, 0.1 mol, 0.1 mol로 제작하였고, high-k 게이트 절연막으로는 Al2O3, HfO2, ZrO2을 제작하였다. 또한, 용액 공정 IGZO TFT를 제작하기 전, 용액 공정 high-k 게이트 절연막 캐패시터를 제작하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 다양한 용액 공정 high-k 게이트 절연막 중, 용액공정 HfO2를 이용한 IGZO TFT는 228.3 [mV/dec]의 subthreshold swing, 18.5 [$cm^2/V{\cdot}s$]의 유효 전계 이동도, $4.73{\times}106$의 온/오프 비율을 보여 매우 뛰어난 전기적 특성을 확인하였다.

ITO 박막은 박막 태양전지, 유기 태양전지뿐만 아니라 유연한 디스플레이, 발광다이오드와 같은 광학적 장치에 투명한 전극으로써 널리 사용된다. 글라스나 플라스틱 기판위에 형성된 투명 전극은 식각을 통하여 전기회로를 구성한다. 또한 식각 특성을 개선할 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서 우리는 유리 기판위에 코팅된 ITO 박막을 유도결합 $BCl_3/Ar$ 플라즈마를 이용하여 식각하였다. ITO 박막은 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 사용해 200 $^{\circ}C$에서 비알칼리 글라스 위에 증착하였고 ITO 박막의 총 두께는 약 250 nm 이었다. 또한 전기 전도성은 $4.483{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, 캐리어 농도는 $3.923{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$이고, 홀 이동도는 $3.545{\times}10cm^{-2}/Vs$이었다. Ar 플라즈마에 $BCl_3$ 가스를 첨가시키면서 가스 비율에 따른 ITO의 식각 속도와 ITO와 PR과의 선택비를 측정하였다. 최대 식각 속도는 $BCl_3$(25%)/Ar(75%), 500 W의 RF power, -200 V의 DC-bias voltage, 그리고 2 pa의 공정압력일 때 588 nm/min이었고 선택비는 0.43으로 다소 낮게 측정되었다. 식각된 표면의 화학적 반응은 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)을 사용해 조사되었다. 그리고 식각된 표면의 거칠기는 원자현미경 (Atomic Force Microscopy)을 사용해 측정하였다.

The noncontact optical sensor using the hologram laser and automatic power controller is developed to measure a thickness of transparent objects and achieve excellent performance. Due to the contact between the tip of the sensor and the surface of objects, the tip is abraded. In addition the casting glass under high temperature results in extending the size of sensor body. The accuracy of the sensor is degraded due to these reasons. In this paper, to overcome these problems, we proposed a low cost non-contact optical sensor that is composed of a hologram laser unit used for optical pickup of CD player and a plastic lens. Therefore the problems caused by the contact sensor are solved by using the noncontact sensor. The noncontact sensor has to move toward the objects and obtain the focus error signal to measure a position of transparent objects. While the internal temperature of the sensor is controlled under ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}$, many trials shows ${\pm}2{\mu}m$ measurement error as excellent performance.

In this paper, we designed and tested of the passive millimeter-wave imaging system in near range. The proposed passive millimeter-wave imaging system consists two parts. The first part is a 94 GHz band millimeter imaging sensor which is coupled to an antenna, two LNAs, and a diode detector. The second part is a control unit. The control unit is consists of the 2-axes Cartesian robot, the data acquisition (DAQ), and imaging program. The 2-axes Cartesian robot should be able to scan a 2-D image of the metalic tools, IC card and plastic objects, with a raster scanning method. The passive millimeter-wave image of $20{\times}20$ pixels is acquired within less than 60s, and is immediately displayed and stored for post processing.In order to improve the image quality, interpolation methods are applied.

Flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays with organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) backplanes have been studied. A gate driver is required to drive the OLED display. The gate driver is integrated into the panel to reduce the manufacturing cost of the display panel and to simplify the module structure using fabrication methods based on low-temperature, low-cost, and large-area printing processes. In this paper, pseudo complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic gates are implemented using OTFTs for the gate driver integrated in the flexible OLED display. The pseudo CMOS inverter and NAND gates are designed and fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate using inkjet-printed OTFTs and the same process as the display. Moreover, the operation of the logic gates is confirmed by measurement. The measurement results show that the pseudo CMOS inverter can operate at input signal frequencies up to 1 kHz, indicating the possibility of the gate driver being integrated in the flexible OLED display.

The designed and fabricated millimeter-wave security screening system receives radiation energy from an object and a human body. The imaging system consist of sixteen array antennas, sixteen four-stage LNAs, sixteen detectors, an infrared camera, a CCD camera, reflector, and a focusing lens. This system requires high sensitivity and wide bandwidth to detect the input thermal noise. The LNA module of the system has been measured to have 65.8 dB in average linear gain and 82 GHz~102 GHz in bandwidth to enhance the sensitivity for thermal noise, and to receive it over a wide bandwidth. The detector is used for direct current (DC) output translation of millimeter-wave signals with a zero bias Schottky diode. The lens and front-end of the millimeter-wave sensor are important in the system to detect the input thermal noise signal. The frequency range in the receiving sensitivity of the detectors was 350 to 400 mV/mW at 0 dBm (1 mW) input power. The developed W-band imaging system is effective for detecting and identifying concealed objects such as metal or plastic.
