Matrix-addressable optoelectronic apparatus and electrode means in the same

摘要

In a matrix-addressable optoelectronic apparatus which includes a functional medium in the form of an optoelectronically active material provided in a global layer in sandwich between a first and second electrode with parallel strip-like electrodes wherein the electrodes of the second electrode are oriented at an angle to the electrodes of the first electrode, functional elements are formed in the active material where respective electrodes overlap and correspond to optically active pixels in a display device or pixels in an optical detector, depending upon the active material used. In each of the first and second electrode, the electrodes are provided in a dense parallel configuration and mutually insulated by a thin film with a thickness that is only a fraction of the width of the electrodes.
