In recent years, materials for ARVR have been actively developed, and high Refractive Index (R.I.) materials are required to achieve high performance and a wide field of view. In addition, AR display is a fine display, therefore the display is needed the materials that can be embedded in fine structures. Since AR has a fine structure, it is formed by nanoimprint (NIL) or gap fill processes. In short, materials with a high R.I., high transparency, and NIL and gap filling properties are required for AR waveguide. High R.I. formulation with high fluidity and low volatility are required for NIL and gap fill process, however, in the case of conventional organic materials, there is the trade-off to obtain high fluidity with low volatility. We designed from the molecular structure and realized to solve the trade-off parameters. With that organic material technology and our unique formulation technology, we have realized products that can perform NIL and gap fill even if it contains a large amount of inorganic nano-filler. In addition, by using organic materials for organic EL, it is possible to obtain effective characteristics such as solvent-free materials with high light extraction efficiency. Products using this technology are expected to be applied to AR and OLED.
The rapid development of display devices has led to the increasing exploration of high performance materials, especially those with high refractive index. Moreover, process condition control is important for device and material development. To meet such demand, we have developed heat free / low temperature process high refractive index materials.
The patternable materials have been improved to be high transparency, high resolution, and adaptable for patterning with photolithography, ink-jet print and imprint. Moreover, combination of high refractive index materials and the patternable technologies led to wider applications for next generation of display industry, such as AR/VR and smart glasses.
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.
