Preface
Thin film transistors, TFTs, are now fundamental electronic components in virtually all consumer and professional display products, from smart phones to large diagonal, flat panel TVs. The commercial application of TFTs has been driven by the use of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, a-Si:H, which is the workhorse of the industry. However, a greater range of TFT materials, such as polycrystalline silicon, amorphous oxide semiconductors and organic semiconductors, are now commanding interest, and this book has been written as an accessible introduction to the field. Whilst there are a number excellent books aimed at the specialist working with these individual materials, this book was conceived to meet the needs of a less
