Definitions
- the invention relates to structures impermeable to water vapor and oxygen; and devices containing them, as well as methods for manufacture of such structures and devices.
- Barrier coatings may decrease permeation of gases and vapors through polymeric materials by several orders of magnitude. Such coatings are used to produce materials that may replace glass in food and pharmaceutical packaging, and in electronic applications. They are also used as protective coatings against attack by aggressive liquids, gases or vapors. One particularly important and demanding application is related to light emitting or photovoltaic devices based on organic semiconductors.
- An organic light emitting diode (OLED) device is an emissive display in which a transparent substrate is coated with a transparent conducting material, for example, indium-tin oxide (ITO) which forms a hole-injecting electrode as the lowest layer of a light emitting diode.
- ITO indium-tin oxide
- the hole-transporting layer is essentially a p-type semi-conductor and the electron-transporting layer is essentially an n-type semi-conductor.
- These are organic layers and in particular are conjugated organics or conjugated polymers; the latter are poor conductors without dopants but are doped to conduct holes (p-type) or electrons (n-type).
- the electron-injecting electrode is typically a metal such as calcium, lithium or magnesium.
- HTL hole-transporting layer
- EHT electron-transporting layer
- Such OLEDs provide a new generation of active organic displays of high efficiency, and most important of low cost.
- high-quality images are created by a matrix of the light emitting diodes encapsulated in transparent materials.
- the diodes are patterned to form a pixel matrix, where a single-pixel junction or EL emits light of a given color.
- All organic displays designed so far, contain oxygen- and moisture-sensitive components, namely organic semiconductors and electron-injecting metals.
- the diodes require protection by means of an impermeable layer forming a barrier to oxygen and water vapor, which impermeable layer envelops the layers of the diode, and a support for the enveloped diode, preferably of high transparency, and which is impermeable, providing a barrier to oxygen and water vapor.
- glass plate has been the support of choice, since it has excellent barrier and transparency properties.
- glass plate has the drawbacks of brittleness, high- weight, and rigidity.
- plastic-film both as the impermeable protective layer and as support material for the devices, since these may bring flexibility, high impact resistance, low weight, and, most of all, may enable roll-to-roll processing, as opposed to batch processing which has been used thus far.
- plastic film should, of course, be essentially impermeable, displaying low oxygen and water vapor transmission rates.
- Organic displays are proposed for such equipment as high-resolution computer displays, television screens, cell-phones and advanced telecommunication devices, etc., which require ⁇ m-scale precision manufacturing, vacuum operations and lithography.
- Other applications include large scale displays for advertising and entertainment, and various communication devices. These latter applications may require lower precision in manufacturing, processing in inert-dry atmospheres, roll-to-roll operations, inexpensive methods of patterning, for example, stamping or ink jet printing.
- low-cost technologies perhaps similar to those at present used in special quality graphic-printing.
- the problem is thus to develop flexible polymer films which are essentially barriers to oxygen and water vapor and which can be produced at low thickness sufficient for their envelope functions, and such that they can be readily employed in commercial manufacture of the organic devices, preferably in roll-to-roll processing.
- a polymer film for an OLED would need to limit permeation of oxygen and water molecules to such extent that the lifetime of a typical device is at least 10,000 hours.
- It is known in the flexible packaging art to coat polymer films or sheets with thin inorganic coatings, for example, metal oxide coatings, to render the polymer films or sheets essentially impermeable to oxygen and water vapor.
- thin inorganic coatings for example, metal oxide coatings
- a typical, transparent barrier-coated material consists of a substrate, usually made of plastic, and a single, very thin layer of a barrier material usually made of metal oxide, a mixture (an alloy, or a compound) of at least two metal oxides, or amorphous or polycrystalline carbon.
- the barrier material for example metal oxide
- the barrier material is very hard, for example 2-10 GPa, as described in US 6,083,313. This, however, has a drawback of inevitable stresses in the coating, usually compressive stresses, intrinsic to the method of its deposition, for example Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- US 5,718,967 describes a coating consisting of organic and inorganic layers, where the first layer being in direct contact with the substrate is an organic layer, more especially an organosilicon.
- This organosilicon layer essentially functions as a primer, and is deposited in absence of oxygen and provides adhesion improvement between the substrate and an inorganic (SiO x ) coating.
- US 6,146,225 describes a multilayer structure consisting of organic coating, typically acrylic, deposited using PML technology (US Patents: 5,260,095; 4,954,371 ; 4,842,893; 6,413,645) and an inorganic layer, typically an oxide or nitride, deposited using ECR-PECVD method.
- US 5,725,909 describes depositing a multilayer structure composed of an acrylic primer and a barrier-providing material such as Si0 2 , A1 2 0 3 or a metal.
- US Pat. 6,203,898 proposes depositing multilayer coatings, by plasma polymerization of condensable organic material, e.g., mineral oil or silicone oil, where a first layer comprises a carbon-rich material, and a second layer comprising silicon has no C-H or C-H 2 IR absorption peaks.
- the inorganic coatings are not in direct contact with the substrate material such as plastic film, but with an organic, organosilicone or organic containing layer that has been deposited thereon.
- US 4,702,963; and EP 062334 describe flexible polymer film having inorganic thin film deposited thereon, where the multilayer coating is composed of inorganic materials.
- the first inorganic material, adhesion improving layer comprises a coating of an elemental metal, for example Cr, Ta, Ni, Mo or Si0 2 with >20% Cr; and the second, barrier-material, comprises a coating of a metal oxide, for example SiO, Si0 2 , MgO, CaO or BaO.
- These coatings are not entirely transparent, as required, for display applications, such as in an OLED.
- the present invention describes multilayer coatings that are distinct from multilayer coatings described in the literature. According to the present invention, the inorganic barrier-providing coating is in direct contact with the substrate.
- Multilayer coatings presented in the literature have acrylic, organosilicon or organic layers deposited from mineral or silicone oil, organic precursors, etc., usually as smoothing, stress-release or adhesion-improvement layers. Those coatings, however, typically show a relatively high permeability to gases and vapors.
- Plasma coatings deposited from organic- and organosilicon precursors, typically exhibit high permeation of gases and vapors. In special conditions, where carbon or silicon carbide layers are deposited, the coatings show low transparency to visible light and to near-IR and near-UV radiation.
- US PAT 6,083,313 describes coatings of essentially high hardness, 2-10 GPa, whereas barrier materials according to present invention typically have a hardness of less than2 GPa.
- Other patents, such as US PAT 4,702,963 describe the coatings that have insufficient transparency for several important applications of the present invention, such as barrier coatings for flat panel displays, photovoltaic devices, and organic light-emitting sources.
- the invention seeks to provide a multilayer structure which provides a permeation barrier to water vapor and oxygen for use in different devices.
- the invention also seeks to provide a device such as an OLED device incorporating such a structure.
- the invention also seeks to provide methods for producing the structure and the devices.
- a structure comprising: i) an organic substrate layer, and
- a multilayer permeation barrier thereon comprising:
- the inorganic coating is practically impermeable to gases, when formed as a continuous coating, and exhibits discontinuity-controlled permeability with the occurrence of inadvertent discontinuities in the inorganic coating; the organic coating exhibits diffusion-controlled permeation of water vapor and oxygen.
- an organic light emitting device in which light emitting diodes are encased in a barrier envelope comprising a structure of the invention, as described hereinbefore.
- barrier properties of an inorganic coating deposited onto a solid organic substrate depend substantially on the permeation properties of the substrate which is in direct contact with the inorganic coating.
- a silica coating deposited directly onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate having an oxygen permeability of about 200 cm 3 /m 2 day would provide much lower oxygen permeation than exactly the same silica coating deposited directly on a polydimethylsiloxane silicone rubber having an oxygen permeation of 60,000 cm /m day.
- the present invention provides a multilayer structure, in which an inorganic barrier-providing coating is in direct contact with an organic coating and an organic substrate, the organic coating having lower or at least the same permeation properties as those shown by the organic substrate.
- the multilayer coatings are produced on organic, rigid or flexible substrates, for example on polymeric materials; the multilayer coatings significantly decrease permeation of gases and vapors through the substrates.
- the multilayer coatings are, in a particular embodiment, transparent.
- the multilayer coatings according to the invention consist of alternating layers of a hard inorganic material and of a relatively softer organic material, where the harder inorganic, permeation barrier-providing material essentially is the first layer in direct contact with the organic substrate.
- the softer organic material coating provides not only stress-release properties, but also contributes to barrier properties and serves as a protective coating.
- Multilayer inorganic/organic coatings according to the present invention may be deposited in a partial vacuum or at or above atmospheric pressure.
- the material and method according to the invention are particularly useful in manufacturing high-barrier packaging materials, light-emitting devices, medical devices, protective coatings, etc.
- the multilayer coatings are produced on rigid or flexible organic substrates, for example polymeric materials, and significantly decrease permeation of gases and vapors through such substrates.
- the present invention relates to coatings consisting of successive layers of a harder inorganic, permeation barrier-providing material and of a softer, stress-release providing organic material, for example multilayer inorganic/organic coatings deposited in a partial vacuum or at atmospheric pressure.

- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- PECVD Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition
- steady-state permeation Q through N defects (of radius R 0 ) in a plastic film of thickness L and surface area A may be expressed as:
- the substrate subsurface zone which has a thickness of about 1 ⁇ m, or the organic primer-layer which is generally thinner than about 1 ⁇ m, which are in direct contact with the coating should have the lowest possible permeation. In practice they should exhibit permeation lower than the plastic film substrate itself.
- the invention resides in a multi-layer barrier on an organic substrate, for example a plastic film, in which the inorganic layer of the multi-layer barrier contacts the organic substrate.
- Permeation through plastic films and through organic coatings is controlled by diffusion, while permeation through inorganic coatings is controlled by the presence of micrometer and submicrometer size discontinuities or defects in these coatings such as pinholes, scratches and cracks.
- diffusion in the bulk of inorganic coatings for example in metal oxides, nitrides and silica, is practically nonexistent near room temperature.
- Figs. 1-4 show several configurations of a substrate plastic film, coated with a multi-layer barrier coating. This structure can be used for further depositing OLED- or other display components.
- the permeant enters into the substrate plastic film 12 from the gas phase (e.g., ambient air) Then it diffuses through the substrate plastic film 12 and passes through discontinuities or defects (openings) in the first inorganic coating 14. Next, it diffuses through the first organic coating 16 and passes through openings in the second inorganic coating 14, then it diffuses through the second organic coating 16, and continues its passage through the multilayer barrier coating, in this way through the successive coatings.
- the gas phase e.g., ambient air
- the highest resistance to permeation is due to diffusion in the nearest vicinity of the discontinuities or defects, where the local concentration gradients are highest.
- the thickness of this "nearest vicinity” layer depends on discontinuities or defect size, being typically less than a micrometer, and the mass transport in this region depends strongly on the diffusion coefficient of the material. Diffusion coefficients of plastic substrate films such as PET are already quite low. Depositing an inorganic barrier coating directly on such films in accordance with the invention additionally decreases permeation by many orders of magnitude. However, coating them first with a more permeable organic coating, showing a higher diffusion coefficient, as is conventional in the art, diminishes barrier performance.
- PC films show very high diffusion coefficients
- PPB polynorbornene
- Figs. 1-4 show barrier-coated plastic substrates, which may be used later for depositing OLEDs or other electronic devices.
- Figs. 5 to 8 show configurations of multi-layer coatings for encapsulation of OLEDs (Figs.5 to 7) or other electronic devices (Fig.8), that have been earlier deposited on an impermeable substrate (Fig.6).
- Figs 5 to 7 refer to OLEDs produced on glass. In general, they may refer to other devices produced on other rigid or flexible substrates.
- the inorganic coating 14 also contacts the plastic film, organic substrate 12, looking along the permeation direction.
- This plastic film may be the substrate from Figs. 1-4, a whole structure placed upside down and fixed by an adhesive , or it may be a thick, multi-micrometer, top-coat protective layer of, for example, a curable resin of low diffusion coefficient.
- Fig. 7 shows an OLED device deposited on the flexible barrier- substrate, previously produced according to the invention, and encapsulated using the same type of barrier-substrate, but placed upside down and glued using an adhesive.
- the inorganic coating changes the mechanism of gas and vapor permeation through the structure from “solubility-diffusion controlled” permeation to “defect controlled” permeation and it limits the surface area accessible to permeant.
- the inorganic coating itself does not have any significant barrier properties, which is due to the presence of inevitable discontinuities, such as pinholes.
- "defect controlled” permeation it is the organic layer , for example the plastic film, organic substrate, that contacts the inorganic coating, which restrains the permeation. Almost all resistance to permeation is local and limited to the nearest vicinity of dicontinuities or defects.
- the organic coating does not have high-barrier properties, if considered separately, at thicknesses below 100 nm, and so consequently permeation across the whole coating, based on "solubility-diffusion” mechanism, would be high.
- the organic coating, or coatings, in the structure of the invention has two roles to play: (I) to provide the resistance to permeation near the defects in the inorganic coating and (II) to distribute the permeant molecules that reach it over a large surface area.
- a thinner organic layer is better (e.g., below 100 nm);
- an organic layer thicker than the average defect size is better (e.g., greater than 1000 nm).
- a thick organic coating thickness greater than lOOOnm
- be an intermediate layer buried within the multilayer barrier and that it not be in contact with the first inorganic layer which contacts the organic substrate.
- the multilayer barrier is composed of alternating coatings of inorganic and organic material, the inorganic barrier-providing coating being in direct contact with the organic substrate, a) Organic Substrate
- the organic substrate is suitably a plastic film. More especially the organic substrate is preferably:
- a flexible or rigid material which is preferably mainly made of a polymeric material
- a plastic material a subsurface zone of which has been densified, crosslinked, or additionally cured by plasma, UV, VUV (vacuum ultraviolet), X-ray, gamma-ray, or ion bombardment treatment, or other equivalent method, thereby having locally, in terms of depth, decreased permeation of the permeant.
- plastic material having a coating which may be inorganic, organic or a composite thereof that has a permeability lower or at least the same, but essentially not higher, than the permeability of the substrate material itself.
- Suitable organic substrates are plastic films of polyethylene terephthalene, polyethylene naphtalate, polynorbornene, polyether sulfone, polyarylates, polycarbonate and composites of them.
- the plastic film suitably has a thickness of 5 to 5000 ⁇ m, preferably 50 to 300 ⁇ m.
- the substrate is to be understood as a self supporting film on which the multilayer barrier coatings are deposited; or as a cast film which is formed, as by casting, on the previously deposited coatings, for example where the multilayer coatings are successively deposited on a diode of an OLED.
- the organic substrate should have a smooth, flat surface for direct contact with the first inorganic coating of the barrier, this surface should be free of deliberately or intentionally introduced irregulatities such as would result, for example, from ion etching, or other treatments of the substrate surface prior to deposition of the inorganic coating and which have the purpose of promoting adherence.
- suitable organic substrates may be: single, multi-layer or coextruded plastic films; plastic films having the surface modified by at least one of the following techniques:
- plastic films having a surface coated with a functional coating, for example, a hard-coating, an anti-scratch coating, an anti-abrasion coating, an anti-reflective coating, an anti-glare coating, a chemically-active coating, an oxygen scavenger coating, a desiccant coating, a UV-protective coating, or a colour- adjustment coating.
- a functional coating for example, a hard-coating, an anti-scratch coating, an anti-abrasion coating, an anti-reflective coating, an anti-glare coating, a chemically-active coating, an oxygen scavenger coating, a desiccant coating, a UV-protective coating, or a colour- adjustment coating.
- the multilayer barrier coatings suitably have an overall hardness below 2 GPa, and preferably about 1.7 GPa.
- the inorganic barrier-providing coating material which is preferably of at least partly ceramic character, may be deposited using a plasma assisted deposition method in a partial vacuum or at or at or above atmospheric pressure.
- the organic coating material may be deposited preferably by a plasma assisted process in a partial vacuum or at atmospheric pressure, but also by gas phase polymerization or by evaporation, sputtering or other PVD method or by conventional coating from liquid or solid phase including, casting, extrusion, thermal transfer, spray-coating, dip-coating or spin-coating followed by curing.
- the inorganic coating or coatings each suitably have a thickness of lnm to l ⁇ m, preferably 10 nm to 350 nm. In especially preferred embodiments the inorganic coating or coatings each have a thickness of greater than 40nm and thus more than 40nm up to 1 ⁇ m. In an especially preferred embodiment the inorganic coatings each have a thickness of lOnm to 350nm, more preferably from 45 nm to 350 nm.
- the organic coating or coatings each suitably have a thickness of from 5 nm to 10 ⁇ m, preferably from 20 nm to 500 nm, to provide both a tortuous path and distribution of the permeant. It is especially advantageous to employ organic coatings having a thickness of less than 90 nm or greater than 1 100 nm.
- permeation along the tortuous path in the organic coating occurs according to a solubility-diffusion mechanism.
- Three parameters are important to decrease this permeation, namely: - diffusion coefficient of the material in which diffusion takes place;
- one of the organic coatings inside the multilayer barrier should preferably be thicker than the average defect size, namely, thicker than 1 ⁇ m.
- the organic coatings each have a thickness of 20 nm to 500 nm, with at least one inner organic coating preferably having a thickness greater than 1 ⁇ m.
