  • Summary

    This chapter explains the historical development of an internationalist conception of trade from Adam Smith to the 1930s. It then examines the establishment of GATT, initial reactions to the organization, and the early work of the secretariat. Efforts to establish what became GATT began during the war and involved British and American governments. The participation of other countries, including Australia, Canada, and India, also influenced the rules and purpose of GATT. The reaction to GATT showed that trade elicited divisive and polarized opinions, a trend that continued throughout its history. In its first few years, GATT had limited capabilities, but an effective secretariat led by Eric Wyndham White. This account revises the widely held view that British and American governments clashed over the postwar trade system. It challenges the belief that the USA created GATT. It shows that the GATT secretariat was proactive, committed to an internationalist trade agenda, and determined to maintain its independence.

  • Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) require a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode for injection of charge carriers and the emitted light to come out. In order to exploit the full flexibility of organic semiconductor based large area electronic devices, the deposition of TCO on plastic substrates is essential, which prohibits high temperature processing. Therefore, low temperature deposition of Indium tin oxide (ITO) films is very important for flat panel displays and solar cells. Here we have carried out a systematic study of ITO deposition on plastic substrates using RF magnetron sputtering. For the optimization of structural, electrical and optical properties of ITO, various experiments such as X-ray diffractometer, transmission measurements, sheet resistance and AFM were employed. These properties were investigated as a function of substrate temperature, deposition time and RF power. From these experiments, we obtained a reasonably low sheet resistance (˜ 14;Ω / □) and high transmittance (˜75%) in the visible region on plastic substrates. We also observed that these films are not much affected by atmosphere and does not degrade with time. These ITO films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on plastic substrates can be use as anode for flexible organic light emitting displays.
