Amorphous indium tin oxide electrodes for piezoelectric and light-emitting device deposited by vacuum roll to roll process

Abstract

The amorphous indium tin oxides (ITOs) and the transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) electrode on the flexible polymer substrate, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), and their application to the suggested combinational device system were studied. The lower range ordered crystalline structure of the ITOs enable the reduction of micro-cracks or defect grains under flexible conditions. With the piezoelectric function of substrate polymer, which is added to the display function with OLED (Organic light emitting diodes), the pattern design with the separated electrodes for two devices for emitting light and vibration was considered. From these results, the concept of a combinational flexible electronic device system with a functional polymer substrate could be suggested.
