Abstract
Optically clear adhesives (OCAs) are widely used in optoelectronic displays because of their high outdoor visibility. Here, we develop new transparent adhesive films with wide-viewing-angle characteristics using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/TiO2 core–shell micro/nanoparticles. TiO2 nanoparticles are embedded in the shell of PMMA microparticles, forming an organic–inorganic hybrid structure. To examine the optical transmittance of the films in the visible wavelength region, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is performed and light diffusion is evaluated. The TiO2 nanoparticles in the shell of the PMMA microparticles exhibit improved light scattering, and the new functional OCAs are expected to provide wide-viewing-angle characteristics for future flexible displays.
