Abstract

Disclosed are an inorganic layer which is formed on one side or both sides of a substrate and has at least a portion irradiated with a laser, a display device including the inorganic layer, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Claims (26)

1 . An inorganic layer disposed on one side or both sides of a substrate, wherein at least a portion of the inorganic layer has been irradiated with a laser.

2 . The inorganic layer of claim 1 , wherein the laser-irradiated portion has a layer density at least about 5% higher than a portion not irradiated with the laser.

3 . The inorganic layer of claim 1 , wherein the laser-irradiated portion has a hydrogen content of from about 1% to about 90%, compared with a portion not irradiated with the laser.

4 . The inorganic layer of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer includes an inorganic material capable of absorbing the laser.

5 . The inorganic layer of claim 4 , wherein the inorganic material includes an oxide, a nitride or an oxi-nitride of silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), barium (Ba), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), or a combination thereof.

6 . The inorganic layer of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer is a substrate protective layer, an interlayer insulating layer, an insulation pattern, or a combination thereof.

7 . A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

an inorganic layer formed on one side or both sides of the substrate and having at least a portion irradiated with a laser; and

a device formed on the inorganic layer.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the laser-irradiated portion of the inorganic layer has a layer density at least about 5% higher than a portion not irradiated with the laser.

9 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the laser-irradiated portion has a hydrogen content of from about 1% to about 90%, compared with a portion not irradiated with the laser.

10 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the inorganic layer includes an inorganic material capable of absorbing the laser.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the inorganic material includes an oxide, a nitride or an oxi-nitride of silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), barium (Ba), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al) or a combination thereof.

12 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate, a polymer film or a silicon wafer.

13 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the inorganic layer is a substrate protective layer, an interlayer insulating layer, an insulation pattern or a combination thereof.

14 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the device includes a semiconductor, an electrode, a thin film transistor, an organic light emitting element or a combination thereof.

15 . A method for manufacturing a display device, comprising:

providing an inorganic layer on at least one side of a substrate;

irradiating the inorganic layer with a laser; and

providing a device on the inorganic layer irradiated with the laser.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the laser comprises an excimer laser, a Nd:YAG continuous wave type laser, a Nd:YAG pulse type laser or a carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the inorganic layer is formed through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a sputtering process, or a wet coating process.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the irradiating the inorganic layer with a laser results in the laser-irradiated portion having a layer density at least about 5% higher than a portion not irradiated with the laser.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the irradiating the inorganic layer with a laser results in the laser-irradiated portion having a hydrogen content of from about 1% to about 90%, compared with a portion not irradiated with the laser.

20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the inorganic layer comprises an oxide, a nitride or an oxi-nitride of silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), barium (Ba), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), or a combination thereof.
