About Bo Liu

Bo Liu is CTO and Founder at Mattrix Technologies. Location: Gainesville, Florida, United States.

Co-inventor of a revolutionary organic transistor technology that allows organic semiconductors to compete with polycrystalline silicon in the backplane of AMOLED displays. A dilute carbon nanotube network serves as a porous source electrode that allows the channel of the transistor to be sandwiched between it and the metallic drain top electrode, thereby permitting submicron channel lengths without expensive high resolution patterning. The transistor can be stacked with an OLED creating an organic light emitting transistor (OLET). This technology recently set the new state of the art for OLETs and is a promising solution to deliver large area AMOLED displays. The device is termed a CN-VOLET (carbon nanotube enabled vertical OLET) and was published in Science in April 2011. The startup company nVerPix was founded in early 2011 to commercialize this breakthrough technology and is funded by VC firm Nanoholdings LLC.
