Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Imprinted by Microlens Array for Enhanced Outcoupling Efficiency of Organic Light Emitting Diode
In this paper, we demonstrate the use of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) imprinted with a microlens array (MLA) via solution process to improve the outcoupling efficiency of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The PDLC, well known for its scattering effect, is an excellent technology for improving the outcoupling efficiency of OLEDs. Additionally, we introduce a simple spin-coating process to fabricate PDLC which is adaptable for future solution-processed OLEDs. The MLA-imprinted PDLC applied OLED shows an enhancement factor of 1.22 in outcoupling efficiency which is a 37.5% increase compared to the existing PDLC techniques without changing the electrical properties of the OLED. Through this approach, we can expect the roll-to-roll based extremely flexible OLED, and with further research on pattering PDLC by various templates, higher outcoupling efficiency is achievable through a simple UV irradiation process.

Optical and Electrical Characterization of Visible Parylene Films
Poly-dichloro-para-xylylene (parylene-C) film is formed through a chemical vapor deposition process, where monomeric gases are polymerized on the target surface at room temperature and are used as transparent insulating coating films. The thin parylene-C films exhibit uniform conformal layers even when deposited on substrates or surfaces with fine cracks, structures, and bumps. However, the film is highly transparent in the visible range (transmittance > 90%); thus, it is difficult to visually identify, inspect the coating process and check for any defects when used as an insulation film. Some reports have demonstrated the deposition of visible (hazy) parylene films through the control of the vaporization or pyrolysis of the parylene-C powder and sublimed dimers, respectively. Even though these films have been applied as device substrates and light extraction layers in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), their optical and electrical aracteristics have not been extensively explored, especially for their applications as insulation coatings. In this study, the characteristics of visible parylene films produced by tuning the ratio of dimer to monomer gases via the adjustments of the pyrolysis temperature are analyzed with electrical and optical methods. Parylene-C films deposited within the pyrolysis temperature of 400–700 ◦ C exhibited a haze range of 10–90%. A relative reflectance of 18.8% at 550 nm of the visible light region was achieved in the visible parylene film deposited with a pyrolysis temperature of 400 ◦ C. Resistivity in the order of 1010 Ω cm was achieved for the visible parylene films measured with the transmission line measurement (TLM) method. The films can be applied in advanced insulation coatings for various optical systems and electronic devices.

Fabrication of Color Glass by Pearlescent Pigments and Dissolved EVA Film
In this paper, we propose a single-layer thin-film color glass manufacturing process for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) with excellent aesthetics and high transmittance, through a solution process using pearlescent pigments. As a matrix for the color solution, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which serves as an encapsulant and adhesive for the photovoltaic module (PV), was dissolved and used as a matrix for the color solution. The color glass produced is excellent in securing the aesthetics of buildings, has a high transmittance of 90% or more, outputs a maximum solar power generation efficiency of 91% from a solar cell, and can minimize the deterioration of power generation efficiency. In addition, the characteristics do not change over time, so it is suitable as color glass for BIPV. Through this study, the solution-based color glass manufacturing process for BIPV using dissolved EVA as a matrix forms a single-layer thin film with good color extensions. The choice of EVA as a matrix makes it possible for color glass to be easily attached to a solar panel using a heat press method. This proposed technique makes it easier and simpler to manufacture color glass as compared to the physical vapor deposition process. The adoption of this solution process technique to fabricate pearlescent pigment-based color glass can effectively reduce the time and cost of the process, so it is expected to be applied to the low-cost BIPV market with excellent aesthetics and high transmittance.

Fabrication of Color Glass with High Light Transmittance by Pearlescent Pigments and Optical Adhesive
In this study, we propose a solution process for realizing colored glass for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems by spin coating a color solution composed of pearlescent pigments mixed in a Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA) matrix. Color solutions are made from mixing pearlescent pigments in NOA63. Compared to a physical vapor deposition process, color coatings are achieved by spin coating in a relatively simple and inexpensive process at room temperature. The optical properties can be easily controlled by adjusting the spin coating speed and the concentration of the pearlescent pigments. The produced colored glass achieved a high transmittance of 85% or more in the visible wavelength range, except for the wavelength spectrum exhibiting the maximum reflectance. In addition, we propose a one-step lamination process of colored glass on a solar cell by leveraging on the adhesive property of the NOA matrix. This eliminates the cost and process of additional ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) layer or other materials used in the conventional lamination process. The colored glass produced through this study has stability that does not change its properties over time. Therefore, it is expected to be applied to the BIPV solar module market where aesthetics and energy efficiency are required.

Perhydropolysilazane Charge-Trap Layer in Solution- Processed Organic and Oxide Memory Thin-Film Transistors
The charge trapping property of spin-coated perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) layers for solution-processed organic and oxide thin film memory transistors is demonstrated. The nitrogen content within the PHPS layer is decreased by increasing the annealing temperatures from room temperature to 450 °C. The PHPS layer added to the SiO2 gate insulator in the charge trap memories (CTMs) shows good memory functionalities which are electrically programmable, and is erased either electrically or optically depending on the semiconductor used. The stored or erased charges in the p-type semiconductor-based CTM result in relatively large threshold voltage shifts (∆VTH > 60 V) and large memory on- and off-current ratio (IM,ON/IM,OFF > 103) with the respective memory output current extrapolated to 108 s. The n-type CTM shows ∆VTH ≈ 20 V, IM,ON/IM,OFF of 0.5 × 103 and is extrapolated to 10 15 s. It is concluded that the origin of the charge-traps in both the p-type and n-type CTMs mainly originates from the PHPS charge trap layer (CTL) and greatly occurs in highly concentrated nitrogen PHPS layers. There is a high possibility of using the PHPS CTL in a wide variety of cost-effective CTMs even with high temperature processed semiconductors.

Solution-Processed Dual Gate Ferroelectric–Ferroelectric Organic Polymer Field-Effect Transistor for the Multibit Nonvolatile Memory
The stable multibit storage operation of solution-processed organic nonvolatile memories (ONVMs) based on ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) for high density data storage devices are demonstrated. The proposed multibit ONVM structure consists of a p-type polymer semiconductor sandwiched between poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] layers serving as ferroelectric gate insulators to form a dual gate ferroelectric–ferroelectric memory transistor (DG Fe-FeMT). With the extra memory space created by the spatially separated ferroelectrics, a 2-bit memory representation (“11”, “10”, “01” and “00”) with clear memory margins is achieved due to the bistability of each P(VDF-TrFE) and the high performance of the polymer semiconductor. The distinct four-level reading of memory output currents (IM,OUTs) results from the independent programming voltages of the dual gates. An excellent distinct six-level IM,OUTs are also achieved in DG Fe-FeMT using the intermediate programming voltages. Finally, the possibility of 3−bit, or 8 memory states, are demonstrated by optimizing the bistability and intermediate polarization states of the ferroelectrics without increasing the device area horizontally. The DG Fe-FeMT has a great potential for cost−effective flexible nonvolatile multibit data storage devices due to its solution-process and low annealing temperatures.

Degradation analysis of doped organic p-n heterojunction charge generation layers by impedance and optical spectroscopy
Investigation of the long-term stability of charge generation layers (CGLs) provides a fundamental and an essential approach in achieving highly efficient tandem organic electronic devices. Thus, in this foremost study, the degradation mechanism of electrically aged organic p-n heterojunction CGLs has been investigated by impedance and optical spectroscopy. Rubidium carbonate (Rb2CO3)edoped 2,2,2-(1,3,5- benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3)edoped 1,4-bis [N-(1-naphthyl)-N0 -phenylamino]-4,40 -diamine (NPB) are used as the n-type and p-type organic semiconductors, respectively. A detailed analysis from capacitance-frequency (CeF) and capacitance-voltage (CeV) characteristics reveals reduced charge generation and 19.6% reduction in the geometric capacitance of the CGL after electrical aging. Reduced peak intensity from UVeViseNIR spectra of the aged CGL points to 21.4% charge transfer complex decomposition of the Rb2CO3-doped TPBi. We propose that the rate-limiting step of charge generation in the CGL is caused by the electron transport in the TPBi:Rb2CO3 layer and not the charge generation itself at the TPBi:Rb2CO3/NPB:MoO3 heterojunction. This simple, comprehensive, and non-destructive technique facilitates a crucial analysis that underpins the mechanism of device degradation and further provides a fundamental approach in developing highly stable CGLs for efficient organic electronic devices.

Fabrication of Multi-Layer Metal Oxides Structure for Colored Glass
This study proposes front colored glass for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems based on multi-layered derivatives of glass/MoO3 /Al2 O3 with a process technology developed to realize it. Molybdenum oxide (MoO3 ) and aluminum oxide (Al2 O3 ) layers are selected as suitable candidates to achieve thin multi-layer color films, owing to the large difference in their refractive indices. We first investigated from a simulation based on wave optics that the glass/MoO3 /Al2 O3 multi-layer type offers more color design freedom and a cheaper fabrication process when compared to the glass/Al2 O3 /MoO3 multi-layer type. Based on the simulation, bright blue and green were primarily fabricated on glass. It is further demonstrated that brighter colors, such as yellow and pink, can be achieved secondarily with glass/MoO3 /Al2 O3 /MoO3 due to enhanced multi-interfacial reflections. The fabricated color glasses showed the desired optical properties with a maximum transmittance exceeding 80%. This technology exhibits promising potential in commercial BIPV system applications.

Effect of Buffer Layer Capacitance on the Electrical Characteristics of Ferroelectric Polymer Capacitors and Field Effect Transistors
We demonstrated the effect of a buffer layer on the electrical characteristics of ferroelectric polymer capacitors and field-effect transistors. Various polymer materials with a dielectric constant between 2 and 42 were used to form buffer layers with a similar thicknesses, but with different capacitances. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the ferroelectrics with a buffer layer, the polarization–voltage characteristics of the capacitor, the transfer characteristics, and the retention characteristics of the transistors were investigated. As the capacitance of the buffer layer increased, high remnant polarization (Pr), high hysteresis, and long retention times were observed. Exceptionally, when poly(methylmethacrylate) and rigid poly(aryl ether) (poly(9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene-co-decafluorobiphenyl)) were used as the buffer layer, Pr had a value close to 0 in the dynamic measurement polarization–voltage (P–V) characteristic, but the quasi-static measurement transfer characteristic and the static measurement retention characteristic showed relatively high hysteresis and long retention times. Our study provides a scientific and technical basis for the design of ferroelectric memory and neuromorphic devices.

Omnidirectional Strain-Independent Organic Transistors Integrated onto an Elastomer Template with a Spontaneously Formed Fingerprint-Mimicking Microtopography
Here, a stretchable organic field-effect transistor (OFET) that exhibits constant electrical performance irrespective of the strain direction is demonstrated. The device is integrated onto an elastomer template with randomly oriented wrinkles on its surface; these wrinkles are spontaneously formed because of the differences in the thermal–mechanical properties of the plastic layer and the underlying elastomer. To achieve this microtopography, a relatively hard polymer, Parylene C, is ad-deposited onto an elastomer blended with polydimethylsiloxane and Ecoflex, resulting in PD-flex. Consequently, this microtopography offers stable device operations of a dinaphtho[2,3-b:2′,3′-f ]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene OFET array under 5% elongation irrespective of strain direction. Furthermore, the electrical performance is highly stable during 10 000 cycles of uniaxial strain, as verified by negligible modulation of the device's field-effect mobility, threshold voltage, and drain-current maximum. This approach allows nonstretchable device components to be relevant to stretchable electronics. More importantly, it is highly compatible to device alignment and provides stability under various kinds of mechanical deformations.

Investigation of the water desorption from components newly installed in a dry gas distribution system
Moisture in industrial gas affects the quality of products, and thus, studies on the water desorption behaviours of the components are necessary for industries to keep their gas distribution system extremely dry. In this study, the water desorption characteristics of a gas filter was evaluated, when it was newly installed in a setup operating in the trace-moisture regime. The desorption kinetics of the water based on the Arrhenius equation was utilized for analysing the experimental observations. The characteristics of water desorption from the filter were examined under a dried N-2 gas flow with varying environmental conditions, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate and preconditioning relative humidity. For practical applications, a drying time of the filter, taken until the water vapour fraction reaches a target concentration (10 nmol center dot mol(-1)), was measured under varying conditions. Finally, the uncertainty budget on the drying time was evaluated. The findings of this study provide a practical insight on the water desorption behaviour, which would be useful for maintaining dry gas supply lines.

Color Glass by Layered Nitride Films for Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) System
We investigated layered titanium nitride (TiN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) for color glasses in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. AlN and TiN are among suitable and cost-effective optical materials to be used as thin multilayer films, owing to the significant difference in their refractive index. To fabricate the structure, we used radio frequency magnetron deposition method to achieve the target thickness uniformly. A simple, fast, and cheap fabrication method is achieved by depositing the multilayer films in a single sputtering chamber. It is demonstrated that a multilayer stack that allows light to be transmitted from a low refractive index layer to a high refractive index layer or vice-versa can effectively create various distinct color reflections for different film thicknesses and multilayer structures. It is investigated from simulation based on wave optics that TiN/AlN multilayer offers better color design freedom and a cheaper fabrication process as compared to AlN/TiN multilayer films. Blue, green, and yellow color glasses with optical transmittance of more than 80% was achieved by indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass/TiN/AlN multilayer films. This technology exhibits good potential in commercial BIPV system applications.

Fabrication of Cu Wiring Touch Sensor via Laser Sintering of Cu Nano/Microparticle Paste on 3D-Printed Substrate
This study investigates the applications of 3D printing technology in the wiring process used in the field of electronic packaging. A Cu wiring process is developed to replace the expensive Ag-based alternative primarily used in commercial 3D electronic circuit printing as per industry standards. The substrates needed for our experiments are developed using a 3D printer assembled prior to the research, through which poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) proves to be a high-strength, high heat-resistance material capable of undergoing the packaging process. The Cu wiring process is performed via laser sintering in ambient condition using a Cu micro/nanoparticle paste. Adopting this method minimizes the cost and duration of the process without relying on inert atmosphere generation. The optimum laser sintering condition for the Cu paste is found to be two consecutive scans at 20 W. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements show that the oxidation of the surface is about 1.35%, and further oxidation is prevented through epoxy molding. The touch sensor by Cu wiring module operate optimally even a month after its manufacture. 3D printing technology proves to be capable of replacing the wiring process used for electronic packaging.

Outcoupling efficiency enhancement of a bottom-emitting OLED with a visible parylene film
We have investigated an effective and a single-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to achieve conformal visible poly-dichloro-para-xylylene (parylene C) film for light extraction enhancement in bottom-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) at room temperature. We report that sublimed parylene dimers pyrolyzed between 400 degrees C and 500 degrees C resulted in visible parylene films with tunable transmittance and haze, exhibiting light scattering properties due to the formation of uniformly distributed dimer crystals. We achieved a novel conformal visible parylene film with total transmittance and high haze of 79.5% and 93.6%, respectively. It is observed that the outcoupling efficiency of the OLEDs employing the visible parylene film is enhanced up to 45.8%. Additionally, the OLED with the visible parylene light extraction film shows limited angle-dependency of emission spectrum over viewing angles. The single-step room temperature fabrication process of this conformal outcoupling film paves the way to achieving commercial high-performance OLEDs.

Ferroelectric-Dielectric Mixed Buffer Layer for Enhanced Electrical Performance of Organic Ferroelectric Memory Transistors
We suggest a facile method to reduce the surface roughness of the ferroelectric polymer insulator to enhance the electrical performance of the ferroelectric field effect memory transistors (FeFET). Ferroelectric-dielectric mixed buffer layer was used to reduce the high surface roughness of the single layer ferroelectric polymer insulator. The FeFET with mixed buffer bilayer (BL-FeFET) showed more than 25 times higher on-current (3.40 mu A) compared with single layer FeFET (130 nA). The BL-FeFET showed enhanced memory retention, higher memory on-off ratio than the conventional single layer FeFET (SL-FeFET). The enhancement of the electrical performance of the BL-FeFET can be attributed to the smoothening of the rough needle-like grain surface morphology of the ferroelectric polymer insulator in the SL-FeFET. This process of mixed buffer polymer insulator may provide a technological method for production of high-performance nonvolatile FeFET memory devices.

A highly sensitive and stress-direction-recognizing asterisk-shaped carbon nanotube strain sensor
Flexible strain sensors are recognized as a key component of electronic-skin technology. One of the important features for strain sensors is that they should be able to sensitively recognize the direction of the external stress to accurately detect the various motions of humans or matter. Herein, we successfully developed a directionally responsive piezoresistive strain sensor with asterisk-shaped CNT sensing electrodes to recognize the direction of an applied external stress, thereby overcoming some of the shortcomings of established sensors. Under 5% strain, the change in relative resistance of the sensor developed here differed by up to a factor of 24.5 for different orientations of the sensor electrode relative to the source of the stress, i.e., a high angular dependence of the sensing performance on the external stress direction was observed. In particular, the asterisk-shaped CNT strain sensors showed a super-linear relationship between response and strain for low strains of up to 5%, allowing them to provide a good sensing platform for recognizing micro-deformations. Finally, we demonstrated that our sensor could recognize the direction of the movement of an applied brush and the magnitude and direction of the tilt of a home-built joystick attached onto the sensor device.

Enhancement of the Retention Characteristics in Solution-Processed Ferroelectric Memory Transistor with Dual-Gate Structure
We demonstrated the enhancement of the retention characteristics in solution-processed ferroelectric memory transistors. For enhanced retention characteristics, solution-processed Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (InGaZnO) semiconductor is used as an active layer in a dual-gate structure to achieve high memory on-current and low memory off-current respectively. In our dual-gate oxide ferroelectric thin-film transistor (DG Ox-FeTFT), while conventional TFT characteristic is observed during bottom-gate sweeping, large hysteresis is exhibited during top-gate sweeping with high memory on-current due to the high mobility of the InGaZnO. The voltage applied to the counter bottom-gate electrode causes variations in the turn-on voltage position, which controlled the memory on- and off-current in retention characteristics. Specifically, due to the full depletion of semiconductor by the high negative counter gate bias, the memory off-current in reading operation is dramatically reduced by 10(4). The application of "a high negative counter field to the dual-gate solution-processed ferroelectric memory gives a high memory on- and off-current ratio useful for the production of high performance multi-bit memory devices.

Random Al2O3 nanoparticle-based polymer composite films as outcoupling layers for flexible organic light-emitting diodes
Random Al2O3 nanoparticle-based polymer composite films are investigated as external scattering layers to enhance light extraction from flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We found that the size and concentration of the nanoparticles (NPs) in the polymer film play a crucial role in improving light extraction. It turned out that their increase has a favorable impact on the light output of the devices, as the high concentration of the NPs leads to the formation of large nanoparticle clusters, which, in turn, yield pore-containing films. As a result, light extraction efficiency of the flexible OLEDs on PEN substrates was enhanced by a factor of 1.65 by the incorporation of the scattering layer, with the highest Al2O3 NP concentration of 99 wt%. This outcome is attributed to the reduction of the waveguide mode and total internal reflection at the substrate/air interface induced by the randomly distributed NPs in the flexible scattering layer. Our work demonstrates an efficient, solution-processable, and low-cost light-outcoupling structure for large-area and flexible OLED applications.

분류식 습도 발생 장치 개발 및 라디오존데 습도센서 저온 효과 보정에 활용 연구
Humidity is an important physical quantity that is closely related with the quality of everyday life as well as the quality control of products in various industries. Here, we have developed a divided-flow type humidity generator of which humidity generation is faster than the saturator-based humidity generator in ppm level. The operation principle of the divided-flow humidity generator is first introduced. Then, the performance of the divided-flow humidity generator is verified by testing the radiosonde humidity sensor at low temperature. As a result, the humidity generated from the divided-flow humidity generator is consistent with the saturator-based precision humidity generator within 1.6% relative humidity in the range from 10% to 40% at -45oC. It is also found that the radiosonde humidity sensor shows measurement errors by 3% - 5% at -45oC when it is only calibrated at room temperature. The response times of radiosonde humidity sensor using the divided-flow humidity generator are between about 2 and 9 minutes, whereas those by the saturatorbased humidity generator are about 20 minutes. In this regard, the divided-flow humidity generator has a merit in terms of fast humidity changes for the calibration of radiosonde humidity sensors at low-temperatures.

Consequently, a PDLC scattering film with 89.8% and 59.9 of total transmittance and hazerespectively, achieved about 16% of light intensity enhancement from integrating sphere measurement.

Parylene C-AlN Multilayered Thin-Film Passivation for Organic Light-Emitting Diode Using a Single Deposition Chamber
Poly-para-xylylene C (Parylene C) and Aluminium Nitride (AlN) multilayered thin films using a single chamber are proposed to achieve transparent passivation for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Parylene C-AlN multilayered thin films were obtained through a sequential deposition of Parylene C layers by an optimized chemical vapor deposition as well as deposition of AlN layers by radio frequency reactive sputtering within a short process time at room temperature. An OLED passivated with the thin film showed a significant extension of shelf-life of 400 h at 25 degrees C and 30% RH without any formation of dark spots during the shelf-life analysis, while a reference OLED without any passivation film was degraded within 24 h. In addition, the multilayered passivation films exhibited considerable optical transparency with transmittance greater than 85% in the visible range. This result demonstrates that Parylene C-AlN multilayered films can be successfully deposited within a short time at room temperature in a single chamber for passivation applications in transparent flexible OLEDs and other organic electronic devices.
