Prof. Akintunde I Akinwande

Professor Akinwande's research interests include vacuum microelectronic devices and the application of RF amplifiers, flat panel displays and sensors; wide bandgap semiconductors for cold cathode and sensing.

Currently, Akinwande is leading a research effort in vacuum microelectronics, with applications to flat-panel displays. His devices are made using processes similar to those used in semiconductor device fabrication. He is particularly concerned with resolution, luminous efficiency, brightness, drive voltage, reliability, and manufacturability of display devices, vacuum microelectronic devices, and wide bandgap semiconductor devices. His current focus is on intelligent displays that utilize smart pixels.
