The IGZO films with large bandgaps (>3 eV) were easily activated by heat delivered by a pulsed green laser to the gate, source, and drain metal electrodes. The IGZO TFTs were quickly and selectively activated in the absence of conventional annealing. Compared to the IGZO TFTs that were annealed at 300°C, the IGZO TFTs that were activated via pulsed green laser irradiation exhibited superior electrical characteristics: a field effect mobility of 11.98 ± 0.64 cm2 V−1 s−1, a subthreshold swing of 0.33 ± 0.02 V dec−1, and an on/off ratio of 8.28 × 109 ± 7.42 × 109, which were attributable to increases in the number of metal–oxide (M-O) bonds and oxygen vacancies, and reduced levels of OH-related species. The pulsed green laser broke weak chemical M-O bonds in the IGZO films through dihydroxylation of the OH-related species, and then strengthened the residual M-O bonds via heat transfer from the metal electrodes. This new activation process could replace conventional annealing and is expected to expand the applications of flexible and transparent devices.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15980316.2021.1933223","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46533277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the analysis, it was found that the deteriorated picture quality was induced by a delayed saturation voltage, which means the electric potential difference between the initial voltage applied to the anode of the OLED (Vinit) and the OLED saturated voltage (Vsat) for emission. This is because the deviations of pico-ampere-level currents and delayed OLED charging prior to light emission increased the saturation voltage when there were low driving currents. Thus, we optimized the voltage by increasing Vinit from −4.5 to −2.7 V, effectively eliminating image deterioration by reducing the OLED charging delay. Thus, the proposed approach opens up advancements of obtaining superior picture quality with ultra-low luminance, even in the dark illuminance environments. We discuss how OLED picture quality may be enhanced under low brightness, including the driving methods, design considerations, and processes involved.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15980316.2021.1923581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43822918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green emitter inks with various solvents were prepared, and it was seen that good film uniformity of printed layers could be obtained with a solvent mixture with different boiling points, which reduced the coffee ring effect on a dried surface. During the inkjet process, the drop injection condition aiming was also controlled for better drop-to-drop spacing and reduction of the line-edge roughness. Printed patterns of a small molecular/polymer hybrid emitting layer, composed of the chlorobenzene-dichlorobenzene solvent mixture, showed significantly reduced roughness of the microscopic surface and improved efficiency of the inkjet device, at levels nearly comparable to those of spin-coated patterns. A suitable hole transport layer (HTL) was also further developed as an interfacial material, prior to the solution processing of the emitter. The cross-linkable HTL was composed of triphenylamine as the cross-linking unit and a fluorene-based compound. At the optimized condition of the solvent formulation, printed droplets within 100 µm× 300 µm pixels formed a uniform stripe without remarkable coffee-ring defects and line-edge surface roughness.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15980316.2020.1866090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47148982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TCAD analysis showed that the IOFF was mainly caused by band-to-band tunneling and that it increased noticeably when the GB protrusion was located at a certain distance from the highly doped drain region because the GB protrusion intensified the electric field at the drain junction. We also found that the IOFF increases further when the GB line is not perpendicular to the channel direction but has some tilt angle because the GB protrusion necessarily encompassed a critical region that maximized the electric field when it was positioned within the GB protrusion.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15980316.2021.1896587","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42198546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then their photophysical characteristics were investigated. The Eu complexes in the solid phase showed a pure red emission (due to the electric dipole transitions of the Eu3+ ion). In a solution, they had multiple emissions due to their ligand contribution. The solvatochromism studies revealed that the Eu(III) complexes in the methanol and DMSO solutions had both metal ion and ligand emissions with similar intensities, which yielded a white emission. Of all the Eu(III) complexes, Eu(DBM)3Phen-mCF3-Ph showed the best quantum yield. In addition, the fluorinated mCF3 ligand had an unusually high lifetime value. Its remarkable linear decrease in luminescence intensity with increasing temperature opens a new window for its use as a sensitive temperature sensor at the 30–80°C range. The CIE color coordinates of the fabricated red LEDs (InGaN) are very close to the standard NTSC CIE color coordinates for bright red emissions, and the color purity as well as the LER values of the fabricated red LEDs are also very good. The Eu(III) complexes exhibited on-off photoluminescence switching via the vapoluminescent process and responded best to the acid-base (HCl-NH3) vapors. All these features suggest that the synthesized Eu(III) complexes are efficient candidates for red-emitting LEDs and vapoluminescent sensors. Organic chromophores, which are phenanthro-imidazole ligands based on fluorinated moieties coordinated with Eu(III) metal ions, very efficiently facilitate energy transfer from the ligand to the Eu(III) ion. The CIE color coordinates of the complexes showed a bright pure red emission, with x = 0.66 and y = 0.33 (612 nm). The fabricated light-emitting diode (LED) showed superior color quality and the complexes showed on-off-on luminescence behavior after exposure to the acid-base vapors.","PeriodicalId":16257,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Display","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15980316.2021.1879960","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43468942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
