Carbon nanotubes in large panel displays
A look at recent chemical science research, contributed by the chemistry world team
US researchers have incorporated carbon nanotubes into organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) to create devices that rival the performance of their silicon counterparts. This technology could lead to large flat screen televisions and displays that are cheap to manufacture.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) produce brighter light than liquid crystals and are cheaper to make than inorganic LEDs. This makes them a promising alternative for large flat screen displays.
