organic-electronic

Nowadays, with all the places digital displays can be found, evidence indicates that it may not be that hip to be square. Displays that push the boundaries of the conventional rectangular, flat-panel design permit extremely organic incorporation of display features into shapes and sizes that are a far better fit with their use and context. Non-rectangular displays are also known as freeform displays (sometimes “free form” or “free-form”), which denotes their bespoke shapes and alludes to the design freedom that they bestow to device manufacturers.

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team led by Professor Sungjae Cho in the KAIST Department of Physics developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) that shows 10-times lower switching power consumption as well as 10,000-times lower standby power consumption than conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors.
