A novel emi-flective display which integrates a reflective liquid crystal display (R-LCD) and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) was demonstrated, whose OLED achieved a gain factor of 8 in contrast ratio (CR) compared with the conventional OLED. Under the high light ambience, the R-LCD is sustained with the CR of 10 : 1 at the viewing angle between AE55 ; while in the dim ambience, the OLED is operated with the CR of 5000 : 1 at AE50 . By replacing the backlight system with OLED, emi-flective display has the benefits of lighter weight (<90%), thinner form factor (<40%), and lower power consumption (<2%, under sunlight) compared with the conventional LCD; therefore, to be very applicable for mobile products.
When the halftone mask is used in the lithography process in LCD manufacturing, the manufacturing process number is reduced. By the use of the halftone mask, the exposure dose to the resist is adjusted, and three kinds of resist film thickness are produced. However, the resist is exposed in the part in which the sensitivity curve rises. When the exposure dose to the resist fluctuated slightly, the resist film thickness drastically fluctuated. This time, we used two kinds of the resist that have different sensitivities. The lower layer resist has low sensitivity and the upper layer resist has high sensitivity. Though we applied two resists which optimized the bake condition, the horizontal part was not obtained. We thought that the two resists may have mixed. We added a water-soluble intermediate layer film between two resists, and then it became possible to eliminate the variation of the resist film thickness due to the slight variation of the exposure dose.
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.
