We report on a recent breakthrough in achieving mass production and product shipments of the first OTFT backplanes manufactured in high volume using existing FPD lines. This is the first time OTFT backplanes have entered mass production and paves the way for a new generation of product form factors not possible with inorganic transistors. Here we describe the key elements of the process and properties of the resulting devices.
