Organosiloxane based spin on planarizing dielectrics (PTS-E and PTS-R) were developed for application in flat panel displays as a replacement to conformal chemical vapor deposited SiNx. Here we demonstrate the successful use of siloxane-based material as a passivation layer for active matrix $\alpha$-Si thin film transistors (TFT) on both rigid and flexible substrates.

We have developed the world's thinnest flexible electrophoretic displays (EPDs). The thin-film displays are 95 ..m thick, which is nearly the same thickness as a standard sheet of paper. Weighing 0.44g including external connection cables, these displays are also probably the world's lightest. We have also developed 7.1-inch-diagonal(paperback-sized) high-resolution flexible EPDs. The displays are large enough to be used as practical e-paper. More than 7 million transistors work correctly on plastic, enabling us to see 3-megapixel images. These flexible displays include active-matrix TFT devices that are fabricated using Suftla transfer technology. Suftla technology demonstrates the potential to achieve thin, flexible displays that will be used as an e-paper in the near future.

Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) are expected as new channel materials in TFTs for largearea and/or flexible FPDs, and several prototype displays have been demonstrated in these five years since the first report of AOS TFT. In this paper, we review fundamental materials science of AOSs that have been clarified to date in connection with operation characteristics of AOS TFTs.

Transparent electronics has attracted many interests, for it can open new applications for consumer electronics, transportation, business, and military. Among them, display backplane, thin film transistor (TFT) array would be the most attractive application. Many researchers have been investigating oxide semiconductors for transparent channel material of TFT since the report for transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor (TAOS) TFT by Hosono group and ZnO TFT by Wager group. Especially, oxide TFTs have been intensively investigated during a couple of years since the first demonstration of ZnO-TFT driving AM-OLED. Many papers regarding the fabrication and performance of oxide TFTs, and active matrix display driven by oxide TFTs have been reported. Now lots of people have confidence in the competitiveness of oxide TFTs for the backplane of AM-Display. Especially, high mobility, uniformity, fairly good stability, and low cost process make oxide TFTs applied even to a large size AM-OLED. Last year, Samsung mobile display, former SID, reported 12" AM-OLED driven by IZGO-TFT and it seems that the remained issue for the mass production is the bias temperature stability. Here, we will introduce the application of oxide TFT and important issue for oxide TFT to be used for the direct printing.

This paper summarizes the recent fabrication and characterizations of flexible high-speed radio frequency (RF) transistors, PIN-diode single-pole single-throw switches, as well as flexible inductors and capacitors, based on single-crystalline Si nanomembranes transferred on polyethylene terephthalate substrates. Flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates have reached RF operation speed with a record cut-off/maximum oscillation frequency ($f_T/f_{max}$) values of 3.8/12 GHz. PIN diode switches exhibit excellent ON/OFF behaviors at high RF frequencies. Flexible inductors and capacitors compatible with high-speed TFT fabrication show resonance frequencies ($f_{res}$) up to 9.1 and 13.5 GHz, respectively. Robust mechanical characteristics were also demonstrated with these high-frequency passives components.

본 논문에서는 모바일 TFT-LCD 모듈에서 발생하는 가청잡음을 감소시키기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 또한 가청잡음에 영향을 미치는 중요 인자들을 분석하였다. 이러한 잡음원은 FPCB와 LCD 패널간의 진동 및 윈도우와 백라이트에 충전되어 있던 정전기와 같은 다양한 중요 인자들로부터 유래됨을 확인하였다. 윈도우에 충전되어 있던 정전기로 인한 잡음 수준을 분석하기 위해 윈도우가 없는 LCD 모듈과 윈도우가 있는 LCD 모듈이 동시에 평가되었다. 신뢰감이 있고 재현성이 있는 데이터를 확보하기 위해 테스트 지그 및 측정시스템을 구축하였다.

Next-generation displays should be transparent and flexible as well as having high resolution and frame number. The main factor for active matrix organic light emitting diode and next-generation displays is the development of TFTs (thin-film transistors) with high mobility and large area uniformity. The TFTs used for transparent displays are mainly oxide TFT that has oxide semiconductor as channel layer. Zinc-oxide based substances such as indium-gallium-zinc-oxide has attracted attention in the display industry. In this paper, the mobility improvement of low cost oxide TFT is studied for fast operating next-generation displays by overcoming disadvantages of amorphous silicon TFT that has low mobility and poly silicon TFT that requires expensive equipment for complex process and doping process.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in amorphous oxide semiconductors to find alternative materials for an amorphous silicon or organic semiconductor layer as a channel in thin film transistors(TFTs) for transparent electronic devices owing to their high mobility and low photo-sensitivity. The fabriction of amorphous oxide-based TFTs at room temperature on plastic substrates is a key technology to realize transparent flexible electronics. Amorphous oxides allows for controllable conductivity, which permits it to be used both as a transparent semiconductor or conductor, and so to be used both as active and source/drain layers in TFTs. One of the materials that is being responsible for this revolution in the electronics is indium-zinc-tin oxide(IZTO). Since this is relatively new material, it is important to study the properties of room-temperature deposited IZTO thin films and exploration in a possible integration of the material in flexible TFT devices. In this research, we deposited IZTO thin films on polyethylene naphthalate substrate at room temperature by using magnetron sputtering system and investigated their properties. Furthermore, we revealed the fabrication and characteristics of top-gate-type transparent TFTs with IZTO layers, seen in Fig. 1. The experimental results show that by varying the oxygen flow rate during deposition, it can be prepared the IZTO thin films of two-types; One a conductive film that exhibits a resistivity of $2\times10^{-4}$ ohm${\cdot}$cm; the other, semiconductor film with a resistivity of 9 ohm${\cdot}$cm. The TFT devices with IZTO layers are optically transparent in visible region and operate in enhancement mode. The threshold voltage, field effect mobility, on-off current ratio, and sub-threshold slope of the TFT are -0.5 V, $7.2\;cm^2/Vs$, $\sim10^7$ and 0.2 V/decade, respectively. These results will contribute to applications of select TFT to transparent flexible electronics.

In recent years, flexible e-paper displays based on electrophorectic materials continue to attract enormous interest from technologists and are expected to be in the market soon. To realize a flexible e-paper, several key technologies for TFT backplane have been developed, while it still lacks good color reproduction and requires input function for use in its various applications. Thus, the technical issues for implementing color and touch functions in a flexible e-paper are discussed, and then our development status along with technology trend of it is described.
