ABSTRACT:
Methods and displays utilize row and column drivers with ZnO channels that control pixel transistors with ZnO channels, which in turn address OLEDs of an array to produce images of a display screen. A display backplane including the ZnO row and column drivers and the OLEDs may be constructed by utilizing aperture masking or a combination of photolithography and aperture masking. Monolithic integration of the ZnO row and column drivers together with the ZnO pixel transistors is thereby achieved.
