DuPont Displays, Sarnoff Corp. and Bell Labs have agreed to cooperate to develop new organic thin-film transistor (organic-TFT) technology on plastic substrates. The research to develop flexible displays will be sponsored by the federal government for three years by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Advanced Technology Program.
The collaboration combines DuPont's expertise in organic LED panels, flexible substrates, cost-effective printing and organic-TFT technologies with Sarnoff's expertise in active-matrix TFT designs and video display systems, the companies said in a statement Tuesday (Oct. 29). Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs will develop a new class of organic-TFT materials and design processes.
