A research team from Aneeve Nanotechnologies has used inkjet printing to make the first fully printed carbon nanotube-based electronic circuit.
The company, a start up at the University of California Los Angeles, used the low cost method to fabricate circuits for use with OLED displays. The carbon nanotube thin-film transistors created demonstrate the first fully printed single-pixel OLED control circuits, and the method of creation will aid a reduction in cost of OLED displays in a number of products, reports The Engineer.
The company believes carbon nanotubes offer a viable alternative to amorphous silicon and metal-oxide semiconductors in display backplanes.
