Active matrix CdSe TFT addresses electroluminescent displays

The authors show that the classical double-insulator thin-film (electroluminescent) EL display can be driven by a CdSe thin-film transistor (TFT) matrix. Both the display and the TFTs can be fabricated by thin-film technology. The active matrix EL-display concept is outlined. A comparison is made of passive versus active EL-displays. The TFT requirements are derived, and their measured performance is described.>
