摘要
Organic thin-film-transistor (OTFT) technologies have been developed to achieve a flexible backplane for driving full-color organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a resolution of 80 ppi. The full-color pixel structure can be attained by using a combination of top-emission OLEDs and fine-patterned OTFTs. The fine-patterned OTFTs are integrated by utilizing an organic semiconductor (OSC) separator, which is an insulating wall structure made of an organic insulator. Organic insulators are actively used for the OTFT integration, as well as for the separator, in order to enhance the mechanical flexibility of the OTFT backplane. By using these technologies, active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays can be driven by the developed OTFT backplane even when they are mechanically flexed.
