  • Publication number: 20120001159
    Abstract: Provided is an insulating layer in which an inorganic material is added to an organic polymer to thereby improve the insulating properties, an organic thin film transistor using the insulating layer, and a method of fabricating the organic thin film transistor. An insulating layer for an organic thin film transistor including a vinyl polymer and an inorganic material is provided. Here, a weight ratio of the vinyl polymer to the inorganic material may be in the range of 1:0.0001 to 1:0.5.

  • Patent number: 7651739
    Abstract: A surface treatment method of an FRP substrate is provided. According to the method, an FRP substrate that is less deformed than a conventional flexible substrate material is used, and surface roughness, which is a drawback of the FRP substrate, is improved so that it may be applied to the fabrication of a device. In order to reduce the surface roughness of an FRP substrate, the FRP substrate is coated with an organic insulating solution and thereby planarized. Due to the reduced deformation and superior flatness, failures occurring due to misalignment in a photolithography process may be prevented.
