We have developed a novel color patterning method for the fabrication of large format full‐color OLEDs. Laser Induced Thermal Imaging (LITI) is a laser addressed high resolution thermal patterning process with unique advantages such as excellent transfer film thickness uniformity, multilayer stack transfer ability, and scalability to large‐size mother glass. LITI patterning of small molecule materials produces OLEDs that are comparable in performance to conventional evaporated devices. Using the technology, we fabricated 2.2″ full color active matrix OLEDs.

We have developed a new color patterning method for the patterning of full color polymer light-emitting devices. Laser Induced Thermal Imaging (LITI) involves the imagewise exposure of a thermal transfer film with a scanning near infrared laser. During the process, light emitting polymer (LEP) is transferred from a thermal film to a circuitized substrate. Using the technology, we fabricated a 3.6" QVGA full color active matrix polymer light-emitting device (PLED).

We report a novel structure for a full‐color AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) eliminating the patterning process of a blue emitting layer. The patterning of the three primary colors, RGB, is a key technology in the OLED fabrication process. Conventional full color AMOLED containing RGB layers includes the three opportunities of the defects to make an accurate position and fine resolution using various technologies such as fine metal mask, ink‐jet printing and laser‐induced transfer system. We can skip the blue patterning step by simply stacking the blue layer as a common layer to the whole active area after pixelizing two primary colors, RG, in the conventional small molecular OLED structure. The red and green pixel showed equivalent performances without any contribution of the blue emission.

Laser-Induced Thermal Imaging (LITI) is a laser addressed patterning process and has unique advantages such as highresolution patterning with over all position accuracy of the imaged stripes of within 2.5 micrometer and scalability to largesize mother glass. This accuracy is accomplished by real-time error correction and a high-resolution stage control system that includes laser interferometers. Here the new concept of hybrid system that complement the merits of small molecule and polymer to be used as an OLED; our system can realize easy processing of light emitting polymers and high luminance efficiency of small molecules. LITI process enables the stripes to be patlerned with excellent thickness uniformity and multistacking of various functional layers without having to use any type of fine metal shadow mask. In this study, we report a full-color hybrid OLED using the multi-layered structure consisting of small molecules and polymers.

Introduction/Purpose: In the flatfoot patients, collapsed medial longitudinal arch during gait induced pain and it results decreased center of progression excursion index(CPEI) in dynamic pedobarography. Although the CPEI decreased is pathologic gait of flatfoot patients, range of the CPEIs is wide even in similar severity of flatfoot patients. We hypothesized that some flatfoot patients inverted forefoot or elevated first metatarsal head during gait for avoiding the pain from collapsed medial longitudinal arch, which resulted wide range of the CPEIs in flatfoot patients. The purposes of this study were to investigate the incidence of forefoot inversion and 1st metatarsal head elevation during gait in severe symptomatic flatfoot patients, and to confirm whether forefoot inversion and 1st metatarsal head elevation increases the CPEI, by using the dynamic pedobarography.
