Characteristics of the Colorless Polyimide-Based Flexible X-ray Detector with Non-Fullerene Acceptor Polymer

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of the colorless polyimide (CPI) film-based flexible organic X-ray detector. The CPI film can be applied to various applications, because it shows excellent visible light transmittance by removing the yellow color of polyimide (PI) film, which has the advantage of physical and chemical stability. In addition, the deformation curvature of the CPI substrate according to temperature showed similar characteristics to that of the glass substrate. For the organic active layer of the proposed detector, PBDB-T was fixed as a donor, and PC71BM and ITIC were used as acceptors. To evaluate the mechanical stability of the flexible detector, the degradation sensitivity was measured as bending curvature and bending cycle. The sensitivity of the detector with ITIC acceptor showed a 46.82% higher result than PC71BM acceptor on bending curvature (R = 10); and at the same curvature, when the bending cycle was 500 times, a 135.85% higher result than PC71BM acceptor.
