We demonstrate a novel selective patterning process of a semiconducting polymer for channel regions to fabricate an array of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). This process is applicable for various organic films over large area. A reflective liquid crystal display based on the OTFT array was produced using the selective patterning through a wettability control.

Liquid crystal (LC) alignment on $a-SiO_x$ thin film was investigated by means of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and optical transmittance as we varied the deposition temperature and the target-to-substrate distance. LC molecules can be aligned vertically on $a-SiO_x$ film when the stoichiometric parameter x of $a-SiO_x$ is smaller than 1.56, but they can be aligned homogeneously when x is larger than 1.56. We also found that whether liquid crystals can be aligned vertically or homogeneously on $a-SiO_x$ film can be predicted simply by measuring the change in optical transmittance by deposition of $a-SiO_x$ thin film layers.

To realize the flexible audible display (FAD), polymer dispersed liquid crystal(PDLC) is deposited on PVDF(Poly-vinylidene fluoride) film with piezoelectric property. With applied audio signal, it makes sound more than 70 dB in 700 Hz-10kHz. In case of transparency it is opaque and transmittance is less than 10% at 550nm wavelength without bias voltage. It is turned to be transparent and show transmittance of 66% with driving voltage of 60V.

We studied homeotropic alignment effect for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on the $SiO_{x}$ thin film irradiated by the new ion beam method. $SiO_{x}$ thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and were treated by the DuoPIGatron ion source. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect was achieved over 2100 eV ion beam energy. Tilt angle were about $90^{\circ}$ and were not affected by various ion beam energy.

In this paper, the LC alignment characteristics of the NDLC thin film deposited by PECVD and sputtering were reported respectively. The NDLC thin film deposited using sputter showed uniform LC alignment at the 1200 eV of the ion beam intensity and pretilt angle was about $2^{\circ}$ while the NDLC thin film deposited using the PECVD showed uniform LC alignment and high pretilt angle at the 1800 eV of the ion beam intensity. Concerning the ion beam intensity, uniform LC alignment of the NDLC thin film deposited by the sputtering was achieved at the lower intensity. And the pretilt angle of the NDLC thin film deposited by sputter was higher than those of NDLC thin film that was deposited using the PECVD. The uppermost of the thermal stability of NDLC thin film was $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, NDLC thin film deposited by the PECVD showed stability at high temperature without defects, compared to NDLC thin film deposited by the sputter.

Vertical falling liquid film is extensively used in heat and mass transfer processes of many applications, such as evaporative coolers, cooling towers, and absorption chillers. In such cases, it is required that the falling film spreads widely in the surface forming thin liquid film to enlarge contact surface. An addition of surface active agent to a falling liquid film or hydrophilic surface treatment affects the fluid physical properties of the film. Surfactant addition not only decreases contact angle between the liquid and solid surface but also changes the surface from hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity. In this study, the effects of contact angle on falling film characteristics over a vertical surface have been investigated experimentally. The contact angle is varied either by an addition of surfactant to the liquid or by hydrophilic surface treatment. It is found that the wetted area is increased and film thickness is decreased by the hydrophilic treatment as compared with those of other surfaces. With this hydrophilic treatment, the falling liquid film spreads out widely in the surface. As surfactant concentration is increased, wetted area is also increased and the film thickness is substantially decreased.

We studied the electro-optical characteristic of vertical alignment liquid crystal display(VA-LCD) on the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system. LC alignment characteristic showed homeotropic alignment, and pretilt angle was about $90^{\circ}$. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect on the $SiO_x$ thin film was achieved and the electro-optical characteristic of the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system was excellent.

Band gap energies of SrTiO$_3$(STO) thin film on glass substrates were studied in terms of annealing temperature. The STO thin film was fabricated by our newly developed method based on the combination of the Self-Assembled Monolayer(SAM) technique and the Liquid Phase Deposition(LPD) method. The as-deposited film demonstrated a direct band gap energy of about 3.65 eV, which further increased to 3.73 eV and 3.78 eV by annealing at 40$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The band gap energy saturated at about 3.70 eV for the crystallized film which was obtained by annealing at 600-$700^{\circ}C$. The relatively large band gap energies of our crystallized films were due to the presence of minor amorphous phase, grain boundaries and oxygen vacancies generated by annealing in air.

We present results of fully nonlinear time-dependent simulations of a thin liquid film flowing up an inclined plane. Equations of the type $h_t+f_y(h) = -{\in}^3{\nabla}{\cdot}(M(h){\nabla}{\triangle}h)$ arise in the context of thin liquid films driven by a thermal gradient with a counteracting gravitational force, where h = h(x, t) is the fluid film height. A hybrid scheme is constructed for the solution of two-dimensional higher-order nonlinear diffusion equations. Problems in the fluid dynamics of thin films are solved to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the hybrid scheme.

We investigated the electro-optica](EO) performances of the super twisted nematic liquid crystal display(STN-LCD) on the polyimide(PI) surface using polymer film. The NLC(Nematic Liquid Crystal) pretilt angles generated are about 18$^{\circ}$by the rubbing alignment method on thin plastic substrates. However, the pretilt angle are at about 13$^{\circ}$ lower on the glass substrate than on thin plastic substrate. Monodomain alignment of the plastic STN-LCD can be observed. A stable voltage-transmittance(V-T) curve of the plastic STN-LCD was observed on the polyimide(PI) surfaces using polymer film. Also, a faster response time for the plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide(PI) surfaces using polymer film can be achieved.
