High Performance Active-Matrix Light-Emitting Displays Enabled by Vertical Light-Emitting Transistor Technology

By combining three key components in an AMOLED display pixel: the drive transistor, the storage capacitor, and the OLED stack into a single, gate voltage controlled, light-emitting element, the vertical organic light emitting transistor (VOLET) works together with low-cost, mature TFT technology to enable high performance AMOLED display panels that can be mass produced on fully depreciated LCD lines.
