Thin film transistors guide the way to active-matrix revolutions

TFTs are a crucial component in modern active-matrix displays, enabling the high-quality images and fast response times that many users now take for granted. Amorphous and poly Si TFTs have undergone much development in the last couple of decades, with many breakthroughs in performance and reliability. The emergence of exciting new technologies that may enable flexible displays in the future will ensure that the TFT remains a hot topic of research for many years to come, regardless of the material from which it is made.
