The folding stabilities of an inorganic single layer and an organic–inorganic multilayer based on the degree of deviation from the neutral plane were investigated for the application of the encapsulation layer to foldable organic light-emitting diodes. The folding stabilities of the two encapsulation layers were evaluated by measuring the change in water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) after 100,000 repetitive folding times. The organic–inorganic multilayer was found stable despite the repeated folding even though the encapsulation layer deviates from the neutral plane by several tens of microns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
