Multilayer Cyclo-Olefin Polymer Films for Enhanced OLED Encapsulation
The development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for high-resolution, large-area displays relies on effective encapsulation technology. Accordingly, this study proposes a novel multilayer structure utilizing a cyclo-olefin polymer-based film. This solution significantly reduces process time and cost while achieving remarkable barrier performance. Optimization involved presenting various models and enhancing substrate-film adhesion via ultraviolet or plasma treatment, consequently improving water vapor transmission rate. Furthermore, the optimized structure's feasibility as an OLED encapsulation layer was confirmed. These results promise to enhance core technological capabilities, improving production yield and minimizing costs-key factors for next-generation displays.
