A solution-processed photosensitive passivation layer with a low dielectric constant (PPLD) has been developed for an a-Si thin film transistor. The PPLD has three highly important properties: a low leakage current, low water absorption, and high-transparency. In addition to providing passivation, the PPLD doubles as a planarization layer. The photoactive property of the PPLD is convenient for ...

The TFT-LCD module factories are in charge of the last process of the TFT-LCD supply chain, i.e., assembling LCD panels (produced from the former process in the supply chain) as well as electronic components into TFT-LCD panels or the finished products using TFT-LCD panels. Since the variation of machine processes and production techniques at the former process of the supply chain results in a ...

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistors (TFT’s) were fabricated on free-standing, clear plastic substrates with a maximum process temperature of up to 250°C. An a-Si TFT backplane for active matrix OLED (AMOLED) application was also made on such substrates. The performance of both the TFT’s and the AMOLED backplane are excellent. These results will enable the fabrication of flexible AMLC...

The paper presents the obtained data about conditions for splashes when a drop impacts surface of liquid with film. Based on results numerical simulation, it is shown that presence film allow significantly expand area impact without splashes. can be used to implement an active method reduce entrainment, example, in gas-liquid separators.

Morphological changes in a dry phospholipid film on a solid substrate were studied below and above the main transition temperature, between the gel and liquidcrystalline phases by phase-contrast microscopy and AFM. A Phospholipid film in the liquid-crystalline phase exhibits flat, smooth layering, whereas that in the gel phase shows rough, random layering. These film morphologies are discussed ...

Foam systems have been attracting extensive attention due to their importance in a variety of applications, e.g., in the cleaning industry, and in bubble flotation. In the context of flotation chemistry, flotation performance is strongly affected by bubble coalescence, which in turn relies significantly on the surface forces upon the liquid film between bubbles. Conventionally, unusual short-ra...

A lubrication analysis is presented for the spreading dynamics of a high permittivity polar dielectric liquid drop due to an electric field sustained by parallel line electrode pairs separated by a distance R(e). The normal Maxwell stress, concentrated at the tip region near the apparent three-phase contact line, produces a negative capillary pressure that is responsible for pulling out a thin ...
