The poly-Si structure includes a substrate, a polycrystallized silicon thin film, and an adhesive layer disposed between them. In the method of fabricating the poly-Si structure, an adhesive layer is first formed on a substrate, a-Si is deposited at a low temperature, and a polycrystallization process of silicon is, then performed by high density energy. Polycrystallization by high energy is possible, and therefore, high quality poly-Si can be achieved. The method can be employed in a low-temperature process, and a heat-sensitive material such as plastic or the like can be used as a substrate.

Abstract: Provided is a flexible display including a plastic substrate and a protective layer formed on the plastic substrate. Accordingly, the plastic substrate is protected from a thermal damage due to a thermal treatment, and sufficient thermal treatment for forming a polysilicon layer can be performed. Also, a polysilicon layer having a good surface and excellent prosperities can be formed due to reflection or absorption of a laser light by the protective layer. Consequently, the performance and durability of the flexible display are greatly improved.
