Anorganic light-emitting transistor (OLET) is a form oftransistor that emits light. These transistors have potential fordigital displays and on-chipoptical interconnects.[1]OLET is a new light-emission concept, providing planar light sources that can be easily integrated in substrates like silicon, glass, and paper using standardmicroelectronic techniques.[2]
OLETs differ fromOLEDs in that an active matrix can be made entirely of OLETs, whereas OLEDs must be combined with switching elements such asTFTs.
A transistor that emits light and is made from organic materials could lead to cheaper digital displays and fast-switching light sources on computer chips, according to the researchers who built it
[...] OLETs could open a new era in organic optoelectronics and serve as test beds to address general fundamental optoelectronic and photonic issues
