Prospect of silver nanowire (AgNW) in development of simple and cost-effective vertical organic light-emitting transistors

Despite a great potential for low-voltage display applications, vertical organic light-emitting transistors (VOLETs) suffer serious issues of high-cost and complex fabrication techniques, notably for the intermediate electrode. To address this problem, this study demonstrates a cost-effective and si...
