Patents by Inventor Barry K. Greening

Barry K. Greening has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and apparatus for providing a high-performance active matrix pixel using organic thin-film transistors
    Patent number: 6639281
    Abstract: A pixel structure having at least one organic thin film transistor (OTFT) that minimizes gate-to-pixel capacitance. In one embodiment, a pixel structure provides a new transistor structure where an OTFT electrode on the data-line side of the transistor is extended or wrapped around three sides of the transistor relative to a pixel-side electrode. Thus, the pixel-side electrode can be made very small without reducing the effective width (and therefore on-current) of the transistor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 28, 2003
    Assignee: Sarnoff Corporation
