Abstract— An 80‐μm‐thick rollable AMOLED display driven by an OTFT is reported. The display was developed so as to be rollable in one direction with an integrated OTFT gate driver circuit. It was successfully operated by an originally developed organic semiconductor, a peri‐xanthenoxanthene derivative. The display retained its initial electrical properties and picture quality even after being subjected to 1000 cycles of a roll‐up‐and‐release test with a radius of 4 mm.
The crystal structures, thin-film properties, and field-effect transistor (FET) characteristics of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives with two phenyl groups are systematically investigated. The highest mobility, 0.11 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), is observed in biphenyl-substituted TTF (1). The correlation between the crystal structures and the FET properties demonstrates that good transistor properties are associated with two-dimensional intermolecular interaction, which is achieved when the molecules are standing nearly perpendicular to the substrate. Since these TTF derivatives are strong electron donors, the use of a metallic charge-transfer salt (TTF)(TCNQ) as the source and drain electrodes has resulted in a considerable reduction of the off current (TCNQ: tetracyanoquinodimethane).
We have developed an 80-μm-thick rollable AM-OLED display. The display is driven by an organic TFT backplane for which we have used originally developed semiconductor, a perixanthenoxanthene derivative. The display shows no degradation in a 4 mm-radius roll-up-and-release cycle of 1000 times.
Abstract— A full‐color top‐emission AMOLED display driven by an organic TFT backplane manufactured using a scalable, lift‐off‐free, and shadow‐mask‐free process has been developed. It was shown that cost‐efficient copper can be used for S/D electrodes. The display has shown no significant degradation over a storage life of more than 10 months and operation over 25 hours during which the display is bent over 10,000 times.
