A group at Osaka University, led by a Professor Takeya, has successfully developed a high-speed organic TFT-driven display with much better performance than has previously been possible. The new breakthrough means it is now possible to combine high-speed display performance with easy film fabrication, something which has so far eluded manufacturers of high-performance organic TFT panels. It's hoped that this will lead to the earlier development of high-performance, flexible displays.
The professor told
Diginfo.tv: "Our new development concerns
the process of printing
single crystals of organic
semiconductors in a simple way.
By making organic semiconductor
films from well-formed crystals,
we've improved performance by at
least an order of magnitude.”
