Description
Summary:[Display omitted] The indium-zinc-tin-oxide (IZTO) target, which consisted of 70 at.% In2O3− 15 at.% ZnO− 15 at.% SnO2, was manufactured to replace indium-tin-oxide (ITO). The flexible IZTO (FIZTO) transparent electrodes were deposited on polyimide (PI) films at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300°C. The mechanical, optical and electrical properties of the FIZTO films and the flexible polymer light emitting diodes (FPLEDs) were characterized. Amorphous FIZTO prepared at 50°C showed the best performance. The optimized FPLEDs exhibited 31% and 9% enhanced maximum brightness and luminance efficiency, respectively, as compared to PLEDs with an ITO glass. In addition, the FPLEDs worked normally in the stretching and twisting state at 3.2% and 58°, respectively.
