P-16: Integration of the 4.5ʺ Active Matrix Organic Light-emitting Display with Organic Transistors

Abstract

We developed an active matrix organic light-emitting display(OLED) on a glass using two organic thin-film transistors(OTFTs) and a capacitor in a pixel. The OTFTs has bottom contact structure with a unique gate insulator and pentacene for the active layer. The width and length of the switching OTFT is 500 μm and 10 μm respectively and the driving OTFT has 900 μm channel width with the same channel length. The characteristics of the OTFTs were examined by test cells around display area and generated images on the panel. The mobility was 0.3 cm2V−1S−1 and the current on/off ratio was 106. The uniformity and stability were confirmed through still and moving images on the panel. The organic light-emitting layers were fabricated by shadow mask process and color fluorescence materials were used for the emitting layers. The resolution of the panel is 64×RGB×64 in 4.5 inch diagonal and the aperture ratio was 25%.
