See-through transistor fabricated for future e-displays

Scientists have recently taken an important step toward the development of “see-through” flexible electronic displays by fabricating fully transparent, high-speed nanowire transistors. This piece of circuitry, the first transistor to demonstrate full transparency, could help turn ideas such as e-paper, displays on sunglasses, and maps on car windshields into a reality.
The collaboration of scientists from Purdue University, Northwestern University, and the University of Southern California, led by David Janes and Tobin Marks, reported their results in a recent issue of Nature Nanotechnology. The group explained that the transparent transistors could be incorporated with active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLED), which have already proven to be good transparent pixels.
