Optimising Polyester Films For Flexible Electronic Applications

  • Published : 2008.10.13

Abstract

DuPont Teijin FilmsTM have developed engineered substrates for flexible electronics. Teonex(R) Q65 and Melinex(R) ST506/5004 are biaxially oriented semi-crystalline polyesters. Smooth planarised Teonex(R) Q65 and Melinex(R) ST506/504 emerge as suitable substrate materials for display backplanes and frontplanes. This contribution discusses the impact of applying a planariser coating to these films. Also, the effect of a more controlled finishing process treatment upon film shrinkage and CLTE is presented.
