  • Patent number: 7687153
    Abstract: A donor substrate for laser transfer comprises: a base film; a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the base film; and a transfer layer formed of an organic material on the light-to-heat conversion layer. The transfer layer contains a thermosetting electroluminescent material, and an organic electroluminescence display device is manufactured using the same. Thus, R, G and B emission layers are simply formed with a fine pattern by a thermal curing process after laser transfer. As a result, the emission layers are not damaged, and the manufacturing cost of a full-color organic electroluminescence display device is reduced due to employment of a simplified mask process. The donor substrate is advantageous to use in the manufacture of a large-sized organic electroluminescence display device.

  • Patent number: 7671359
    Abstract: Provided are a thin film transistor, a method for preparing the same and a flat panel display employing the same. The thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, source and drain electrodes insulated from the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer insulated from the gate electrode and electrically connected to the source and drain electrodes, an insulating layer, and a carrier blocking layer interposed between the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer and preventing electrons or holes moving through semiconductor layer from being trapped in the insulating layer. Since the thin film transistor is constructed such that the carrier blocking layer is interposed between the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer, the electrons or holes injected into the semiconductor layer can be prevented from being trapped in the insulating layer, thereby suppressing hysteresis characteristic. In addition, a reliable flat panel display device can be manufactured using the thin film transistor.
