SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RD&IP, L.L.C. today announces it has developed technology for making televisions with organic transistors and diodes using printing process. RD&IP’s technology is aimed to significantly reduce the manufacture cost in making LCD and OLED televisions. The technology is described in US patents 8013826, 8022911, and 8044882. The latest patent 8044882 is issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office today.

It is widely recognized that using printing process to make televisions is much more cost-effective than using photolithography process. Such printing process, however, has not been widely adopted, because of the technology limitation that the printed transistors often do not have fast switching speed. RD&IP’s invention bypasses such technology limitation with newly redesigned television pixels.

With conventional technology, each row of pixels is selected sequentially to switch on their transistors. With RD&IP’s technology, multiple rows of pixels are grouped together and selected together to reduce the switching requirement of the transistors. For a television with 1024 rows refreshed at 60 Hertz, conventional technology requires a transistor be switched on within 16 microseconds. With RD&IP’s technology, the switching requirement of the transistor can be relaxed to 512 microseconds, when a group of 32 rows of pixels is selected together. Because of the less stringent requirement on the transistors, RD&IP’s technology creates the possibility of making televisions with significantly reduced cost, using organic transistors, on a flexible substrate, and manufactured by a roll-to-roll printing process. In addition, large size televisions can now be made with amorphous silicon transistors using low resolution shadow-mask technology. RD&IP’s technology is described in more details at yet2.com.
