Inorganic Phosphors and ACTFEL Devices on Flexible Plastic Substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interest in organic and polymer light-emitting devices (OLEDs and PLEDs) has exploded in recent years, in part because of the ability to create these devices on flexible plastic substrates. This is advantageous in producing wearable or lightweight displays, as well as utilizing low-cost roll-to-roll processing techniques. For the first time, we present crystalline refractory inorganic thin films, as well as alternating-current thin film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices, deposited on flexible plastic substrates.
