Microplasma Current Switch for OLED applications

The concept of a microplasma current switch for a device operated in a current mode like organic light-emitting diodes, which features matrix addressability and current switching, is presented as well as its architecture and operational principle. To verify the concept, we have fabricated a 100 mm ${\times}$ 100 mm microplasma current switch panel with a cell pitch of $1080{\mu}m{\times}1080{\mu}m$. Moreover, the current-voltage measurements of the unit cell are performed for three different driving voltage amplitudes. They show the characteristic of an asymmetric floating double probe diagnosing plasmas.
