We have investigated the EO characteristics generation of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with photoalignment method on three kinds of photopolymer surfaces using polymer substrates. The LC homogeneous alignment were observed on the PMI3CA (N-(phenyl)maleimide with 3-carbon chain cinnamoyl group) and PMIF (N-(phenyl)maleimide including fluoro cinnamoyl group). However, the homeotropic alignment on the PMI5CA(N-(phenyl)maleimide with 5-carbon chain cinnamoyl group) was obtained. Also, EO characteristics of the flexible photoaligned TN-LCD using PMIF surface are better than that of the flexible TN-LCD using PMI3CA surface. Also, the stable EO performances of flexible photoaligned VA-LCD using the PMI5CA surface was observed.

We investigated the characteristics of nano crystalline silicon(nc-Si) thin-film solar cells on graphite substrates. Amorphous silicon(a-Si) thin-film solar cells on graphite plates show low conversion efficiency due to high surface roughness, and many recombination by dangling bonds. In previous studies, we deposited barrier films by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) on graphite plate to reduce surface roughness and achieved ~7.8 % cell efficiency. In this study, we fabricated nc-Si thin film solar cell on graphite in order to increase the efficiency of solar cells. We achieved 8.45 % efficiency on graphite plate and applied this to nc-Si on graphite sheet for flexible solar cell applications. The characterization of the cell is performed with external quantum efficiency(EQE) and current density-voltage measurements(J-V). As a result, we obtain ~8.42 % cell efficiency in a flexible solar cell fabricated on a graphite sheet, which performance is similar to that of cells fabricated on graphite plates.

Flexible inverters based on complementary thin-film transistor (CTFTs) are important because they have low power consumption and other advantages over single type TFT inverters. In addition, integrated CTFTs in flexible electronic circuits on low-cost, large area and mechanically flexible substrates have potentials in various applications such as radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs), sensors, and backplanes for flexible displays. In this work, we introduce flexible complementary inverters using pentacene and amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) for the p-channel and n-channel, respectively. The CTFTs were fabricated on polyimide (PI) substrate. Firstly, a thin poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP) layer was spin coated on PI substrate to make a smooth surface with rms surface roughness of 0.3 nm, which was required to grow high quality IGZO layers. Then, Ni gate electrode was deposited on the PVP layer by e-beam evaporator. 400-nm-thick PVP and 20-nm-thick ALD Al2O3 dielectric was deposited in sequence as a double gate dielectric layer for high flexibility and low leakage current. Then, IGZO and pentacene semiconductor layers were deposited by rf sputter and thermal evaporator, respectively, using shadow masks. Finally, Al and Au source/drain electrodes of 70 nm were respectively deposited on each semiconductor layer using shadow masks by thermal evaporator. Basic electrical characteristics of individual transistors and the whole CTFTs were measured by a semiconductor parameter analyzer (HP4145B, Agilent Technologies) at room temperature in the dark. Performance of those devices then was measured under static and dynamic mechanical deformation. Effects of cyclic bending were also examined. The voltage transfer characteristics (Vout- Vin) and voltage gain (-dVout/dVin) of flexible inverter circuit were analyzed and the effects of mechanical bending will be discussed in detail.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have the advantages of growing at a low temperature and obtaining high charge mobility (carrier mobility) [1]. Furthermore, the zinc oxide thin film can be used to control application resistance depending on its oxygen content. ZnO has the desired physical properties, a transparent nature, with a flexible display that makes it ideal for use as a thin-film transistor. Though these transparent flexible thin-film transistors can be manufactured in various manners, manufacturing large-area transistors using a solution process is easier owing to the low cost and flexible substrate. The advantage of being able to process at low temperatures has been attracting attention as a preferred method. However, in the case of a thin-film transistor fabricated through a solution process, it is reported that charge mobility is lower. To improve upon this, a method of improving the crystallinity through heat treatment and increasing electron mobility has been reported. However, as the heat treatment temperature is relatively high at $500^{\circ}C$, an application where a flexible substrate is absent would be more suitable.

Laser-induced plasmonic sintering of metal nanoparticles (NPs) holds significant promise as a technology for producing flexible conducting electrodes. This method offers immediate, straightforward, and scalable manufacturing approaches, eliminating the need for expensive facilities and intricate processes. Nevertheless, the metal NPs come at a high cost due to the intricate synthesis procedures required to ensure long-term reliability in terms of chemical stability and the prevention of NP aggregation. Herein, we induced the self-generation of metal nanoparticles from Ag organometallic ink, and fabricated highly conductive electrodes on flexible substrates through laser-assisted plasmonic annealing. To demonstrate the practicality of the fabricated flexible electrode, it was configured in a mesh pattern, realizing multi-touchable flexible touch screen panel.

This paper is relative to the electroless deposition of nickel or copper films on polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene substrates. First, it is presented an original approach of the electroless process which consists in grafting nitrogenated functionalities on the polymer surfaces via plasma or VUV-assisted treatments operating in a nitrogen-based atmosphere ($NH_3$, $N_2$), and then in catalysing the grafted surfaces in an aqueous tin-free, Pd(+2)-based solution. Adhesion of the Pd(+2) catalytic species on polymer surfaces is explained by the formation of strong covalent bonds between these species and the grafted nitrogenated groups. Second, it is show how a fragmentation test performed in conjunction with electrical measurements can be used to characterize the practical adhesion of the electroless coatings deposited on flexible polymer substrates, and to evidence the influence of some experimental parameters (plasma treatment time and nature of the gas phase).

Inorganic-organic hybrid multilayers were formed on the plastic substrate to enhance the barrier properties of substrate to water vapor and oxygen transport. Plasma pretreatment of substrate with $Ar/O_2$ lead to adhesion improvement and the densification of inorganic layer on the substrates. Combination of $SiO_xN_y$ layer and silanenanoclay composite layer offered quite good barrier properties (WVTR and OTR) to PES substrate.
