TLDR
In this paper, a thin film transistor whose channel is formed using an amorphous semiconductor is used for a driver circuit formed using only n-channel transistors or p-channel Transistors.Abstract:
One object is, when a thin film transistor whose channel is formed using an amorphous semiconductor is used for a driver circuit formed using only n-channel transistors or p-channel transistors, to provide a driver circuit in which the threshold voltage is compensated in accordance with the degree of change in the threshold voltage. In the driver circuit which includes a unipolar transistor including a first gate and a second gate which are disposed above and below a semiconductor layer with insulating layers provided therebetween, a first signal for controlling switching of the transistor is inputted to the first gate, a second signal for controlling a threshold voltage of the transistor is inputted to the second gate, and the second signal is controlled in accordance with a value of current consumption including a current which flows between a source and a drain of the transistor.read more

Room-temperature fabrication of transparent flexible thin-film transistors using amorphous oxide semiconductors
TL;DR: A novel semiconducting material is proposed—namely, a transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor from the In-Ga-Zn-O system (a-IGZO)—for the active channel in transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs), which are fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate sheets and exhibit saturation mobilities and device characteristics are stable during repetitive bending of the TTFT sheet.
