We introduce non-contact surface modification using trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) for thin film transistor application. The surface is not contacted to the TMCS solution because it is vaporized at room temperature. The hydrophobic surface with contact angle $of\;{\sim}\;70^{\circ}$ can be achieved by the transfer of TMCS using a PDMS mold.

We herewith report for the effect of dielectric surface modification on the electrical characteristics of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The kist-jm-1 as an organic molecule for the surface modification is deposited onto the surface of zirconium oxide ($ZrO_2$) gate dielectric layer. The OTFTs are elaborated on the flexible plastic substrates through 4-level mask process to yield a simple fabrication process. In this work, we also have examined the dependence of electrical performance on the interface surface state of gate dielectric/pentacene, which may be modified by chemical properties in the gate dielectric surface.

Recently, study on the weak interaction energy between the soft polymer surface and liquid crystals has been a primary topic for new LC device applications. In this paper, to understand the switching property of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) at the interface with a weak anchoring boundary, we investigate experimentally the rotation property of surface nematic director by electric field on non-treated Poly-Methylmethacrylate (PMMA, $T_g=110^{\circ}C$, Sigma Aldrich) film observed under various temperatures including the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the polymer layer.

This paper presents the electro-luminescence (EL) display lamp which is patterned on a curved surface by the pad printing method. The printing methods, including the gravure, screen, flexo, inkjet, and pad printing, have an advantage of one-step direct patterning. However, in general, the printing and semi-conductor process, except pad printing method, cannot be applied for patterning on a curved surface. Thus, in this paper, we used pad printing method for patterning an EL display lamp on a curved surface. The EL display lamp consists of 5 layers: Bottom electrode; Dielectric layer; Phosphor; Transparent electrode; Bus electrode. Finally, we printed EL display lamp on a dish, which has a radius of curvature 80mm. The EL display lamp was driven at AC 200V of 1kHz.

We propose advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) modes through surface modification using UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) mixed with alignment layers. The LC directors on the modified alignment layer are controlled and memorized by the polymerized RMs under an applied voltage. Using the method proposed here, we can improve the response time and viewing angle characteristics through surface controlled patterned vertical alignment (SC-PVA) mode and 8-domains PVA mode, respectively. Also, we found that the method can be applicable to fabricate multi-domain structures using multiple UV exposure as same as conventional UV alignment method.

There are several kind of surface deformation display methods using the fuzzy model. In this paper, we describe three fuzzy display methods for a surface deformation and perform a comparative analysis between the modified fuzzy display method and some conventional fuzzy display methods. In each method, the analysis will be performed through computer simulation in order to show the performance of each algorithm. The results show that the modified method have improved the realism and can be used better than the conventional methods in practical applications.

Establishing and maintaining optimum lamp operating temperature is critically important in backlight systems for large area displays. The information presented in this paper is based upon work completed for a tiled 37.5" AM LCD, plus projections for a 37.5", 42" & 50" monolithic display. Due to the size of the units, a requirement for highly collimated light and a requirement for high brightness, >550 nits at the display surface, significant wattage is required which generates high heat levels in the backlight display assembly and potentially, at the display rear surface. Uniformity of illumination becomes an important element in the system design because of the large area involved.

Surface modification of the gate dielectric has a strong influence on the performance of printed transistors. The surface modification occurs between the gate dielectric and semiconductor. The printed transistor with evaporated vanadium pentoxide ($V_2O_5$) modification exhibits a mobility of $0.2cm^2\;V^{-1}\;s{-1}$ and a subthreshold slope of 1.47 V/decade.

The effect of improvement on the surface morphology of screen-printed carbon nanotube (CND) films was studied by using the optically clear poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer for surface treatment. After the PDMS activation treatment was applied to the diode-type CNT cathode, the entangled carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles were broken up into individual free standing nanotubes to remarkably improve the field-emission characteristics over the as-deposited CNT film. Also, the cathode film morphology of a top gated triode-type structure can be treated by using the proposed surface treatment technique, which is a low-cost process, simple process. The relative uniform emission image showed high brightness with a high anode current. This result shows the possibility of using this technique for surface treatment of large-size field emission displays (FEDs) in the future.

This paper presents heating process for obtaining standing carbon nanotube emitters to improve field-emission properties from the screen-printed multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films. In an atmosphere with optimum combination of nitrogen and air for heat treatment of CNT films, the CNT emitters can be made to protrude from the surface. This allows for high emission current and the formation of very uniform emission sites without special surface treatment. The morphological change of the CNT film by this technique has eliminated additional processing steps, such as surface treatment which may result in secondary contamination and damage to the film. Despite its simplicity the process provides high reproducibility in emission current density which makes the films suitable for practical applications.
