47‐2: Invited Paper: Oxide/Organic Semiconductor Electronics on Plastic Substrates for Flexible AMOLED Displays

Emerging flexible OLED display technologies are expected to bring a new viewing experience to a wide range of display applications from mobile terminals and signage to large-area sheet-type displays. For large-area and high-resolution flexible OLED displays, however, the development of high-performance and reliable TFT backplanes on plastic substrates is still an essential and challenging research subject. Here, we discuss our recent work on the development of oxide TFTs and their application to flexible OLED displays. In addition, solution-based organic materials and devices, which are advantageous for the simple fabrication of large-area backplanes, are discussed.
