چکیده

A combination of surface energy-guided blade coating and inkjet printing is used to fabricate an all-printed high performance, high yield, and low variability organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array on a plastic substrate. Functional inks and printing processes were optimized to yield self-assembled homogenous thin films in every layer of the OTFT stack. Specifically, we investigated the effect of capillary number, semiconductor ink composition (small molecule-polymer ratio), and additive high boiling point solvent concentrations on film fidelity, pattern design, device performance and yields.

Flexible Blade-Coated Multicolor Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes for Optoelectronic Sensors.

A method to print two materials of different functionality during the same printing step is presented. In printed electronics, devices are built layer by layer and conventionally only one type of material is deposited in one pass. Here, the challenges involving printing of two emissive materials to form polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) that emit light of different wavelengths without any s...

Flexible and transparent metallic grid electrodes prepared by evaporative assembly.

We propose a novel approach to fabricating flexible transparent metallic grid electrodes via evaporative deposition involving flow-coating. A transparent flexible metal grid electrode was fabricated through four essential steps including: (i) polymer line pattern formation on the thermally evaporated metal layer onto a plastic substrate; (ii) rotation of the stage by 90° and the formation of th...

All-printed full-color pixel organic photodiode array with a single active layer

A new fabrication method to realize fully-printed organic photodiode (OPD) arrays capable of RGB light separation is presented. From the photocurrents generated by each pixel type under the light from RGB LEDs, we demonstrate that this “White”, “Yellow” and “Red” array can successfully detect and reconstruct colors in the RGB system, with an average accuracy of 98.5%. A flexible broadband OPD a...
