The market desire for high quality, large-size and low-cost displays are driving a need for improved display products. The current disclosure provides embodiments describing, among other things:
    - 
    
        - Simple, scalable, reproducible, and environmental robust techniques for printing porous conductive electrodes, semiconducting channel (LEPs), and organic gating materials;
- Printed porous conductive electrode enabled vertical polymer light emitting transistors on silicon wafer with high conductance at lower power and low voltage;
- Printed transparent porous conductive electrodes from NW films;
- Singly-gated or doubly-gated porous conductive electrode enabled vertical polymer light emitting transistors with porous conductive electrodes on PS-PMMA-PS/EMIM TFSI ionic gel coated NW substrate to achieve >5% external efficiency, 10,000 Cd/m2 brightness and full aperture at 4 V supply voltage and sub 1 V driving voltage.
