초록보기

 In the evolution of electronics, flexible, stretchable devices have been rising as a future device due to its potential to be utilized as wearable device. Stretchable electrodes have been developed for stretchable electronics such as sensors, displays, and energy devices. Especially, in the case of optoelectronic devices such as displays need an electrode which is not only stretchable, but also transparent. There are numerous attempts to achieve highly conductive, stretchable and transparent electrodes based on various types of materials such as carbon-based materials, metal-based materials and conductive polymer with new structural strategies. For taking advantages of each material, nanocomposite-based electrodes have attracted huge interest.

Based on these stretchable and transparent electrodes, many different kinds of light emitting devices also have been developed. Among various types of light emitting devices, alternating current electroluminescent device, which is called ACEL, is one of the promising candidates to be utilized as stretchable displays, sensing flatform and other multifunctional devices. ACEL device is composed of stretchable electrodes and emissive layer sandwiched between two electrodes and composed of phosphor and elastomer. This structure is very advantageous to be stretched due to the flexibility of whole devices including light emitting layer. Therefore, ACEL can be adapted as wearable displays as the form of patterned displays, pixelated displays, and other various display systems. Additionally, ACEL sensing platforms can use both luminescence and electrical properties to be utilized as tactile sensor. Also, sound generation is available based on the dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) structure of ACEL devices, so the multi-functional device can be obtained. To realize these various applications, new patterning strategy is needed.

Herein, the ACEL based stretchable display using AgNW-PH1000 nanocomposite based transparent electrodes is demonstrated. The thin-film shaped transparent and stretchable electrodes enables the device to maintain the original properties such as luminance under tensile strain of 100%. Also, the new patterning strategy, transfer-printing technique is introduced. By transfer-printing, fabrication process of multi-color ACEL devices can be simplified and device properties also can be improved. This research will give direction to widen the range of ACEL device application as stretchable displays.
