MIT Technology Review : To create larger and cheaper electronic displays, some researchers have turned to conventional printing technologies. Ali Javey of the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues used carbon nanotubes in solution as the ink and applied them to a bendable plastic surface to create arrays of transistors. As they report in Nano Letters, the resulting arrays are uniform, flexible, and relatively inexpensive to manufacture. They perform well, and they demonstrate high electron mobility and therefore less voltage. The method is much cheaper than conventional processing and allows for much larger displays.
