This paper provides an overview on the characteristics of a-SiC:H barrier film deposited for flexible display applications. Key characteristics such as high crack resistance, high thermal/hydro stability, excellent adhesion to the polymer substrate, as well as very low permeance has been demonstrated. The excellence of this barrier film has been shown from competitive analysis compared with other barrier coating materials. Finally, flexible Polymer Light Emitting Diode (PLED) test pixels have been fabricated on the barrier coated plastic substrate, demonstrating the viability of the device with lifetime data.

PURPOSES : The impact performance of flexible barrier system such as structural response, vehicular motion and occupant safety vary depending on the impact point. Thus, to properly evaluate the performance of a flexible barrier system, impact should be made to a point which will lead to the worst possible results. This point is called the Critical Impact Point (CIP). This paper presents the way to determine the CIP for a SB2 class flexible barrier system which is consisted of Thrie-Beam rail and circular hollow tube post of 2m span. METHODS: Barrier VII simulations were made for impact points; Case 1 at a post, Case 2 at 1/3 span downstream from a post, Case 3 at middle of the span, Case 4 at 2/3 span downstream from a post. For the structural performance (deflections), impact simulation of 8000kg-65km/h-15degree was used, and for vehicle motion and occupant safety, simulation of 1300kg-80km/h-20degree impact was made and analysed. RESULTS: Case 1 gave the largest dynamic deflection of 75.72cm and also gave the largest snag value of 44.3cm. Occupant safety and exit angle of the vehicle after the impact were not sensitive to the impact point and were all below the allowable limit. CONCLUSIONS : For the SB2 class flexible barrier system's CIP can be regarded as a post which is sufficiently away from the end of Length of Need in order to avoid the end-effect of the barrier system. It can be more economic in the long run because the normal concrete pavement material is likely to cost more due to higher probability of maintenance and repair and higher social cost due to traffic accident, etc.

We will discuss encapsulation of OLEDs on both flexible and rigid glass substrates. Accelerated testing at 6CC/90RH and 85C/85RH is compared and acceleration factors for OLED and Calcium test samples are discussed.We have tested the stability and performance of our barrier coating to much higher temperatures: up to 140 C. Water Vapor Transmission rates at temperatures from 60 to 140 C are presented. Rates and methods for low cost manufacturing on a large scale are analysed.

In this paper, a study was conducted on encapsulation technology for high mechanical stability of flexible displays. First, unlike conventional encapsulation barrier that exclude cracks as much as possible for low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), mechanical properties were improved by using a defect suppression mechanism introduced with crack arresters. The zero-stress encapsulation barrier optimizes the residual stress of the thin film based to improve the internal mechanical stability. The zero-stress encapsulation barrier was applied to the organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) to confirm its characteristics and lifetime. Due to improved internal mechanical stability, it has a longer lifetime more than 35% compared to conventional encapsulation technologies. As the zero-stress encapsulation barrier proposed in this study does not require additional deposition process, it is not difficult to apply it. Based on various advantages, it is expected to play an important role in flexible displays.

An atmospheric pressure floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) system having flexible electrodes was developed and its plasma characteristics was investigated. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polydiemethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were used as flexible dielectrics for flexible powered-electrodes. The optical intensity and electron temperature of the atmospheric pressure FE-DBD plasma increased with the voltage applied to the powered electrode, and increased in the order of PTFE < PDMS < PET at a fixed voltage. This behavior was explained in terms of the change in the capacitance of the flexible dielectrics with the dielectric type and voltage, implying that the plasma characteristics of an atmospheric pressure FE-DBD having flexible electrodes can be controlled by modulating the flexible dielectrics for the flexible powered-electrode and the voltage applied to the powered electrode. Because an atmospheric pressure FE-DBD system can generate a plasma along the curvature of skins, it is expected to have useful applications in plasma medicine.

Barrier coating properties of PVA/$SiO_2$ on the flexible substrates (PEN) have been investigated. Thin layer of PVA/$SiO_2$ organic-inorganic hybrid materials were deposited on PEN substrate by the spin-coating. The optical properties and surface roughness of barrier layer on flexible substrate were characterized by AFM, UV-Vis and WVTR/ OTR.

A thin metal layer of molybdenum is placed between the conventional barrier layer and the stainless steel substrate for investigating the diffusion property of iron (Fe) atoms. In this study, the protection probability was confirmed by measuring the concentration of out-diffused Fe using a SIMS depth profile. The Fe concentration of chromium (Cr) barrier layer with 10 nm molybdenum (Mo) layer is 5 times lower than that of Cr barrier without the thin Mo layer. The insertion of a thin Mo metal layer between the barrier layer and the stainless steel substrate effectively protects the out-diffusion of Fe atoms.
