Abstract

In a method for fabricating a flexible pixel array substrate, first, a release layer is formed on a rigid substrate. Next, on the release layer, a polymer film is formed, the adhesive strength between the rigid substrate and the release layer being higher than that between the release layer and the polymer film. The polymer film is formed by spin coating a polymer monomer and performing a curing process to form a polymer layer. Afterwards, a pixel array is formed on the polymer film. The polymer film with the pixel array formed thereon is separated from the rigid substrate.

Claims (14)

1. A method for a fabricating flexible pixel array substrate, the method comprising:

forming a release layer on a rigid substrate;

forming a polymer film on the release layer, wherein the adhesive strength between the rigid substrate and the release layer is higher than that between the release layer and the polymer film;

forming film layers on the surface of the release layer, wherein the film layers comprise a hard coating layer and an adhesive layer;

forming a pixel array on the polymer film; and

separating the polymer film with the pixel array formed thereon from the rigid substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the material of the release layer comprises metal, inorganic compound, or polymer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the polymer film includes spin coating a polymer monomer and performing a curing process to form a polymer layer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the material of the hard coating layer comprises oxide or nitride.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the film layers comprise a water vapor-resistant and oxygen-resistant layer.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the material of the water vapor-resistant and oxygen-resistant layer comprises oxide, nitride, polymer or a multi-layer combination of the above materials.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method for separating the polymer film with the pixel array formed thereon from the rigid substrate comprises a curing process.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rigid substrate comprises a glass substrate.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pixel array comprises an amorphous silicon TFT array (a-Si TFT array), a low-temperature poly silicon TFT array (LTPS TFT array) or an organic TFT array.
