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.
