  • Patent number: 7485576
    Abstract: A method of forming a conductive pattern in which the conductive pattern can be easily formed at a low temperature without a photolithography process by forming the conductive pattern using a laser ablation method and an inkjet method, an organic thin film transistor manufactured using the method, and a method of manufacturing the organic thin film transistor. The method of forming a conductive pattern in a flat panel display device includes preparing a base member, forming a groove having the same shape as the conductive pattern in the base member, and forming the conductive pattern by applying a conductive material into the groove. The base member has one of a structure including a plastic substrate having the groove and a structure including a substrate and an insulating layer which is arranged on the substrate and which has the groove.

  • Publication number: 20060192183
    Abstract: A metal ink for ink-jet printing conductive lines, a method of preparing the metal ink, a substrate for a display having a plurality of ink-jet printed conductive lines, and a method of manufacturing the substrate are provided. The metal ink includes dispersed metal nano powders and a solvent, wherein the metal ink includes antiabrasion-promoting nano particles and/or a flexibility-promoting polymer. The dispersed metal nano powders include at least one of silver, gold, platinum, palladium nickel, and/or copper. The metal ink for ink-jet printing conductive lines improves the adhesion, abrasive resistance and flexibility of ink-jet printed conductive lines, such as, ink-jet printed address and bus electrodes, to a ground substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060135028
    Abstract: A substrate for a plasma display panel (PDP) having a plurality of ink-jet printed conductive lines for address and bus electrodes, and a method of manufacturing the substrate are provided. The method includes applying metal adhesion promoter layer to a ground substrate, applying a layer of fluorinated precursors, and applying a plurality of conductive lines. The adhesion of the ink-jet printed conductive lines, i.e. ink-jet printed address and bus electrodes to the ground substrate, and the contact angle of the ink-jet printed conductive lines with respect to the ground substrate are improved, enabling a high resolution display to be manufactured.

  • Patent number: 6924504
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) includes a substrate having a first electrode layer formed thereon in a predetermined pattern, an insulator layer defining the upper portion of the substrate having the first electrode layer in a predetermined pattern, an organic polymer layer formed based on the pattern defined by the insulator layer, a barrier for blocking flow of the organic polymer layer at both ends of the pattern defined by the insulator layer, and a second electrode layer formed on the organic polymer layer.

  • Patent number: 6924025
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing matrix arrangements of organic conductive materials, especially in an organic light-emitting diode structure. In the method, an anode layer as well as a patterned photo-resist layer, having a pattern corresponding to a pixel matrix, are formed on a substrate. Then, a first organic material layer is formed and a cathode layer is vapor-deposited. Thereafter, the cathode layer and the first organic material layer located beneath the cathode layer are removed from an area where pixels of different kinds are to be formed, by laser ablation. Another organic material layer is formed and then a cathode layer is again vapor-deposited. Then, laser ablation is used to clean areas where pixels of still another different kind are to be formed. Formation of additional organic material layers and vapor-deposition of cathode layers in accordance with the number of different kinds of pixels are repeated.
