A cinnamate group is a well-known compound group used in the dimerization reaction by ultraviolet irradiation, and cinnamate polymers are studied as photoalignment materials. In this study, the radical reaction of cinnamate side groups attached to a flexible polymer backbone is considered feasible using thermal energy. To induce the thermal reaction of cinnamate side groups, we modified the flexibility of poly(vinyl cinnamate) by introducing a plasticizer into the polymers and investigated the thermal reaction behavior of cinnamate side groups. The plasticization of poly(vinyl cinnamate) makes the induction of the thermal reaction of cinnamate side groups easier than that of unmodified poly(vinyl cinnamate). The thermal reaction of cinnamate side groups is closely related to the enhancement of the thermal stability of the liquid crystal orientation of polymer films with polarized UV irradiation.

OLED has many advantages of low voltage operation, self radiation, light weight, thin thickness, wide view angle and fast response time to overcome existing liquid crystal display (LCD)'s weakness. Therefore, It draws attention as promising display and has already developed for manufactured goods. Also, OLED is regarded as a only substitute of flexible display with a thin display. A considerable portion of the light originating film emissive centers buried in a solid film never escapes due to internal reflection at the air-film interface and is scattered as edge emission or dissipated within the solid film This is one of the major reasons why the luminous power efficiency of OLED remains low, in spite of research progress in OLED. Although several ways of overcoming this difficulty have been reported, no comprehensive method has been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose that use of anti-reflective coating layers.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been widely used as transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) for transparent electrodes of various optoelectronic devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light emitting diodes (OLED). However, indium has become increasingly expensive and rare because of its limited resources. In addition, ITO thin films have some problems for OLED and flexible displays, such as imperfect work function, chemical instability, and high deposition temperature. Therefore, multi-component TCO materials have been reported as anode materials. Among the various materials, IZTO thin films have been gained much attention as anode materials due to their high work function, good conductivity, high transparency and low deposition temperature. IZTO thin films with a thickness of 200nm were deposited on Corning glass substrate at different substrate temperature by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering with a sintered ceramic target of IZTO (In2O3 70 wt%, ZnO 15 wt%, SnO2 15 wt%). We investigated the electrical, optical, structural properties of IZTO thin films. As the substrate temperature is increased, the electrical properties of IZTO are improved. All IZTO thin films have good optical properties, which showed an average of transmittance over 80%. These IZTO thin films were used to fabricate organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) as anode and the device performances studied. As a result, IZTO has utility value of TCO electrode although it reduced indium and we expect it is possible for the IZTO to apply to flexible display due to the low processing temperature.

본 논문은 외판원 문제(TSP: Traveling Salesman Problem)를 이용하여 로봇중심의 FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell)에서 반송 로봇의 작업순서를 설계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해, 먼저 다수의 설비와 반송 로봇으로 구성된 대표적인 로봇 중심의 FMC를 가상으로 설계한 후, 실험계획법을 이용하여 다양한 조건에서의 주요 반응변수들의 인과관계를 규명하였다. 실험결과, 처리량, 반송로봇의가동률, 그리고 Buffer의 평균 대기 작업물의 수가 주요 반응변수들로 선정되었으며, 이를 기반으로 순서기반 조합최적화 문제인 TSP로 로봇 작업순서를 설계하였다. 제안한 방법과 기존의 방법을 비교하기 위해서 시뮬레이션을 수행 한 결과 제안된 TSP 방법이 기존의 방법 보다 반송 로봇의 교착 (Deadlock) 상태를 방지하여 처리량 등 주요 반응변수들 모두를 향상 시키는 결과를 가져왔다. 더불어,이 방법은 본 연구에서 제시한 FMC 뿐 아니라 반도체나 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 생산 공정과 같이 반송 로봇에 의해 구성되어 있는 장치 산업분야에 적용가능하다는 측면에서 큰 효과가 기대된다.

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of azomethine-ester polymers that consist of banana-shaped mesogen in their backbone. Two parts of the key structure of five-ring bent-core mesogen were modified by connecting different angle of central unit (Ar), and introducing lateral substituent into the outer ring (X). The synthetic details includes (1) placing the dioxydodecamethylene unit as a flexible spacer, (2) possessing 2,3- or 2,7-naphthylene, or 1,2-phenylene connection on the central unit, and (3) introducing fluorine or chlorine substituent (X = F or Cl) into the outer phenylene unit.

Recently, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) requires various technical challenges; high definition, high quality, big size, and low price. These demands more pixels in the fixed area of the LCD and very fine lead pitch of the driving IC which controls the pixels. Therefore, a new packaging technology is needed to meet such technical requirement. NCP (Non Conductive Paste) is one of the new packaging methods and has excellent characteristics to overcome the problems of the ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film). In this paper, we analyzed the process of the NCP for COF (Chip on FPCB) and proposed the key design parameters of the NCP process. Through a series of experiments, we obtained the stable values of the design parameters for successful NCP process.

Nowadays, Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (AM-OLEDs) are the superior display device due to their vivid full color, perfect video capability, light weight, low driving power, and potential flexibility. One of the advantages of AM-OLED over Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) lies in its flexibility. The potential flexibility of AM-OLED is not fully explored due to its sensitivity to moisture and oxygen which are readily present in atmosphere, and there are no flexible encapsulation layers available to protect these. Therefore, we come up with a new concept of Inorganic-Organic hybrid thin film as the encapsulation layer. Our Inorganic layer is Al2O3 and Organic layer is F-Alucone. We deposited these layers in vacuum state using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) techniques. We found the results are comparable to commercial requirement of 10-6 g/m2 day for Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR). Using ALD and MLD, we can control the exact thin film thickness and fabricate more dense films than chemical or physical vapor deposition methods. Moreover, this hybrid encapsulation layer potentially has both the flexibility of organic layers and superior protection properties of inorganic layer.

Manufacturing of printed electronics using printing technology has begun to get into the hot issue in many ways due to the low cost effectiveness to existing semi-conductor process. This technology with both low cost and high productivity, can be applied in the production of organic thin film transistor (OTFT), solar cell, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, printed battery, E-paper, touch screen panel, black matrix for liquid crystal display (LCD), flexible display, and so forth. The emerging technology to manufacture the products in mass production is roll-to-roll printing technology which is a manufacturing method by printings of multi-layered patterns composed of semi-conductive, dielectric and conductive layers. In contrary to the conventional printing machines in which printing precision is about $50~100{\mu}m$, the printing machines for printed electronics should have a precision under $30{\mu}m$. In general, in order to implement printed electronics, narrow width and gap printing, register of multi-layer printing by several printing units, and printing accuracy of under $30{\mu}m$ are all required. We developed the roll-to-roll printing equipment used for printed electronics, which is composed of un-winder, re-winder, tension measurement system, feeding units, dancer systems, guide unit, printing unit, vision system, dryer units, and various auxiliary devices. The equipment is designed based on cantilever type in which all rollers except printing ones have cantilever types, which could give more accurate machine precision as well as convenience for changing rollers and observing the process.

A new information society of late has arrived by the rapid development of various information & communications technologies. Accordingly, mobile devices which are light and thin, easy and convenient to carry on the market. Also, the requirements for the larger television sets such as fast response speed, low-cost electric power, wider visual angle display are sufficiently satisfied. The currently most widely studied display material, the Organic Light-emitting Diodes(OLEDs) overwhelms the Liquid Crystal Display(LCD), the main occupier of the market. This new material features a response speed of more than a thousand times faster, no need of backlight, a low driving voltage, and no limit of view angle. And the OLEDs has high luminance efficiency and excellent durability and environment resistance, quite different from the inorganic LED light source. The OLEDs with simple device structure and easy produce can be manufactured in various shapes such as a point light source, a linear light source, a surface light source. This will surely dominate the market for the next generation lighting and display device. The new display utilizes not the glass substrate but the plastic one, resulting in the thin and flexible substrate that can be curved and flattened out as needed. In this paper, OLEDs device was produced by changing thickness of Teflon-AF of hole injection material layer. And as for the electrical properties, the four layer device of ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/BCP/LiF/Al and the five layer device of ITO/Teflon AF/TPD/$Alq_3$/BCP/Lif/Al were studied experimentally.

We established the emulsion method using membrane filter with precise control of LC droplet distribution in PDLC. PDLC cells with various LC droplet size distributions such as single droplet sizes of $1.0{\mu}m$, $1.9{\mu}m$ and $3.5{\mu}m$, the mixture of two different LC droplet sizes and the mixture of three different LC droplet sizes were fabricated and the electro-optical properties of the emulsion type PDLC cells with various droplet size distribution were investigated. In the appropriate droplet size range, the PDLCs with the single droplet sizes distributions have good electro optical properties than those with the mixture of three different LC droplet sizes. In addition, the PDLC cells with the mixture of two different LC droplet sizes have the better electro optical properties than those with single droplet sizes distribution. The PDLC cell with dual droplet size distribution of $1.0+1.9{\mu}m$ shown the best electro optical properties than the PDLC cells with other size distributions. This method enabled us to find the proper LC droplet size distribution for achieving both high transmittance and contrast ratio.
