  • Patent number: 8445898
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic/inorganic hybrid thin film passivation layer comprising an organic polymer passivation layer prepared by a UV/ozone curing process and an inorganic thin film passivation layer for blocking moisture and oxygen transmission of an organic electronic device fabricated on a substrate and improving gas barrier property of a plastic substrate; and a fabrication method thereof. Since the organic/inorganic hybrid thin film passivation layer of the present invention converts the surface polarity of an organic polymer passivation layer into hydrophilic by using the UV/ozone curing process, it can improve the adhesion strength between the passivation layer interfaces, increase the light transmission rate due to surface planarization of the organic polymer passivation layer, and enhance gas barrier property by effectively blocking moisture and oxygen transmission.

  • Patent number: 7897430
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic thin film transistor comprising a photocurable transparent inorganic/polymer composite layer as a gate insulator layer in which metal oxide nanoparticles are generated within a photocurable transparent polymer through sol-gel and photocuring reactions and whose permittivity is easily regulated; and a fabrication method thereof. Since the organic thin film transistor according to the present invention utilizes the photocurable transparent inorganic/polymer composite layer showing a significantly high and readily controllable permittivity as a gate insulator, it is capable of operating under low voltage conditions and has a high on/off current ratio due to low leakage current. Further, the organic thin film transistor according to the present invention preserves the unique properties of the photocurable transparent polymer, enabling the formation of a photocurable micropattern of a gate insulator having high processibility.
