METHOD FOR FABRICATION OF TRANSPARENT GAS BARRIER FILM USING PLASMA SURFACE TREATMENT AND TRANSPARENT GAS BARRIER FILM FABRICATED THEREBY

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a transparent gas barrier film by using plasma surface treatment and a transparent gas barrier film fabricated according to such method which has an organic/inorganic gradient interface structure at the interface between an organic/inorganic hybrid layer and an inorganic layer. Since the method of the present invention is capable of fabricating a gas barrier film by plasma surface treatment instead of deposition under high vacuum, it can mass-produce a transparent gas barrier film with excellent gas barrier properties in an economical and simple manner. Further, since the transparent gas barrier film fabricated according to the method of the present invention shows excellent gas barrier properties and is free of crack formation and layer-peeling phenomenon, it can be effectively used in the manufacture of a variety of display panels.
