Abstract :
The objective of this study is to present an electrical characterization of metal electrodes deposited on flexible substrates for folding test. In order to quantize folding conditions, flexible-characteristic inspection system (FCIS) [1] for folding function is utilized to control radii of curvature of the flexible substrates. As a result, the new technique successfully measures electrical characteristics of flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/gold electrodes for analysis during the 0/m to 200/m curvature folding cycles. Inspection results of folding characteristics depicted on flexible displays help a designer or maker of flexible displays design useful and comfortable flexible electronic products.
