In a poly-LED display there are three sources of power dissipation

1 Light productionPlight = ILED times VLED

2 Capacitive lossesPcap = C times Vswing times Vsupply times freq

3 Resistive lossesPres = I2 times R

Shadow mask 방식(저분자)bull Pattern 된얇은 Metal Mask (Shadow Mask)을이용하여 Pixel에유기물을증착하는방법

항목 Issues

Fine Metal Mask

- Mask 제작의 어려움 (두께 lt 50 폭hellip)- Mask 처짐

- Mask 세정 (Mask 세정방법 개발 필요)

설 비 - Mask와 기판의 정밀 Alignment (기판 및 Mask 처짐 방지기구)

- 복사열에 의한 Mask 팽창 (냉각기구 필요)

특성 - Mask제작의 한계로 인한 High Resolution어려움

- Mask에 붙어 있는 Particle(유기물Metal)에의한 Device 불량(Line 불량 Dark Spot)

In a poly-LED display there are three sources of power dissipation

1 Light productionPlight = ILED times VLED

2 Capacitive lossesPcap = C times Vswing times Vsupply times freq

3 Resistive lossesPres = I2 times R

Shadow mask 방식(저분자)bull Pattern 된얇은 Metal Mask (Shadow Mask)을이용하여 Pixel에유기물을증착하는방법

항목 Issues

Fine Metal Mask

- Mask 제작의 어려움 (두께 lt 50 폭hellip)- Mask 처짐

- Mask 세정 (Mask 세정방법 개발 필요)

설 비 - Mask와 기판의 정밀 Alignment (기판 및 Mask 처짐 방지기구)

- 복사열에 의한 Mask 팽창 (냉각기구 필요)

특성 - Mask제작의 한계로 인한 High Resolution어려움

- Mask에 붙어 있는 Particle(유기물Metal)에의한 Device 불량(Line 불량 Dark Spot)

Shadow mask 방식(저분자)bull Pattern 된얇은 Metal Mask (Shadow Mask)을이용하여 Pixel에유기물을증착하는방법

항목 Issues

Fine Metal Mask

- Mask 제작의 어려움 (두께 lt 50 폭hellip)- Mask 처짐

- Mask 세정 (Mask 세정방법 개발 필요)

설 비 - Mask와 기판의 정밀 Alignment (기판 및 Mask 처짐 방지기구)

- 복사열에 의한 Mask 팽창 (냉각기구 필요)

특성 - Mask제작의 한계로 인한 High Resolution어려움

- Mask에 붙어 있는 Particle(유기물Metal)에의한 Device 불량(Line 불량 Dark Spot)

2 Capacitive lossesPcap = C times Vswing times Vsupply times freq

3 Resistive lossesPres = I2 times R

Shadow mask 방식(저분자)bull Pattern 된얇은 Metal Mask (Shadow Mask)을이용하여 Pixel에유기물을증착하는방법

항목 Issues

Fine Metal Mask

- Mask 제작의 어려움 (두께 lt 50 폭hellip)- Mask 처짐

- Mask 세정 (Mask 세정방법 개발 필요)

설 비 - Mask와 기판의 정밀 Alignment (기판 및 Mask 처짐 방지기구)

- 복사열에 의한 Mask 팽창 (냉각기구 필요)

특성 - Mask제작의 한계로 인한 High Resolution어려움

- Mask에 붙어 있는 Particle(유기물Metal)에의한 Device 불량(Line 불량 Dark Spot)

In a poly-LED display there are three sources of power dissipation

1 Light productionPlight = ILED times VLED

2 Capacitive lossesPcap = C times Vswing times Vsupply times freq

3 Resistive lossesPres = I2 times R
