Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic device having a multi-functional barrier layer, and more particularly to an electronic device comprising a barrier layer that also functions as an electrode of the electronic devices.
- ITO indium tin oxide
- transparent conductive oxides such as ITO
- transparent electrodes should be formed to a predetermined thickness or more to ensure the low resistance value required by electronic devices. In such a case, although it is possible to provide sufficient transparency as the transparent electrode, when the bending occurs due to the brittleness of the transparent conductive oxide and the thickness of the formed electrode, the transparent electrode is more easily broken.
- the electrical resistance value which is greatly increased as it is bent, is also one of the factors that makes it difficult to apply a transparent electrode formed of a transparent conductive oxide to a flexible electronic device.
- the ever-increasing price of indium, the additional processing steps and time to form additional transparent electrodes increases the total manufacturing cost of electronic devices employing existing transparent electrodes.
- the organic light emitting layer of the organic light emitting diode (OLED) used in the flexible display is susceptible to moisture and oxygen enough to lose its light emitting function upon contact with oxygen or moisture particles. Encapsulation is required.
- protective films are commonly used to prevent the penetration of oxygen / moisture particles using encapsulations made of glass or metal, most of these encapsulations do not provide sufficient ductility, so the protective film awakens when the flexible electronic devices are bent or stretched.
- Various defects can occur, such as cracking, cracking, or the creation of pin-holes.
- Encapsulations formed from organic substrates and plastic substrates provide sufficient ductility required by flexible electronic devices, but have relatively low moisture permeability compared to encapsulations formed from glass / metal, so that all sides of a portion that require protection are protected. It should be surrounded by multiple layers or by a few layers with a high thickness. In other words, increasing the thickness of the encapsulation film or the number of additional layers to obtain sufficient gas / moisture particle moisture permeation prevention rate may eventually lead to an increase in thickness and transparency of the electronic device itself.
- one component has a multi-function barrier layer capable of implementing not only the moisture barrier protection performance but also the electrode performance as needed, it is possible to meet the functions required for the implementation of transparent and flexible electronic devices in the future. It has been recognized that elimination and size reduction can solve the limit of miniaturization of electronic devices. In order for such an ideal multi-functional barrier layer to be practically commercialized, even relatively favorable production costs and processing times must be considered over other conventional methods or materials. In particular, in order to be applied to a transparent flexible display device, it is required to provide high mechanical strength, optical transparency, electrical properties, heat conduction properties, and moisture permeation prevention properties, as well as chemical stability with other components of the device.

- the graphene oxide platelet or the reduced graphene oxide platelet of the embodiments herein using the expression "platelet” is used to stack not only a single layer structure but also a plurality of layers. Emphasis was placed on including the structure in question.
- the reduced graphene oxide platelet 12 is shown as having a single layer structure, herein among the reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 in the hybrid-graphene composition 10, Some may have a structure of a single layer reduced graphene oxide sheet, and some may have a stack structure in which the reduced graphene oxide sheets overlap. Furthermore, when the reduced graphene oxide platelet 12 is formed of a stack of multiple sheets, some reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 are not fully reduced between the reduced graphene oxide sheets contained therein.

- Graphene oxide is hydrophilic in the various oxygen functional groups on the surface thereof as compared to the reduced graphene oxide from which most of the oxygen functional groups are removed, because the moisture particles can move better through the path in the polymer matrix (16)
- Most or all of the graphene platelets included in the hybrid-graphene composition 10 and the hybrid-graphene layer 100 of the embodiments of the preferred embodiment are reduced graphene oxide platelets 12.
- the hybrid-graphene composition 10 and the hybrid-graphene layer 100 of the embodiments herein may include a few unreduced graphene oxide platelets due to process variations.
- gas / moisture molecules can migrate along the relatively permeable polymer channels around the infiltrated reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 and penetrate through the hybrid-graphene layer 100. . Therefore, in improving the gas / moisture barrier property of the hybrid-graphene layer 100 formed of the hybrid-graphene composition 10, it is most important to establish a path as long as possible so that gas / moisture particles are difficult to penetrate. Is the point.
- the factors that greatly influence the gas / moisture intrusion prevention properties of the hybrid-graphene composition 10 are the aspect ratio defined as the ratio of the longest dimension to the shortest dimension of the reduced graphene oxide platelet 12.

Will have
- the reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 are polymer chains, in contrast to other types of nano-fillers that have smooth surfaces that do not aid in mechanical interlocking. It has a rough and corrugated surface topology that can make the bond stronger.
- the reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 support mechanical loads in both longitudinal and transverse directions because they have a two-dimensional planar shape, the reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 are also present in flexible devices. May serve as a gas / moisture barrier.
- the improved elastic modulus of the hybrid-graphene composition 10 also leads to improved buckling stability at compression loads. Buckling is a very difficult structural instability in the structural design of flexible devices.
- the improved buckling stability of the hybrid-graphene composition 10 described herein is characterized by the two-dimensional planar shape of the reduced graphene oxide platelets 12 and the reduced graphene oxide platelets used in each example. 12) Most of these relate to all of the structural features that consist of a plurality of sheets.
