Transparent Transistor
...onductor material out of indium gallium zinc oxide. "This is the first time I've seen a transparent transistor on a plastic substrate with such high performance," says Edzer Huitema of Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. "This opens up a range of new applications." “The process requires much heat. That would melt the plastic," says Huitema. "This paper is exciting," says John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ?“The area of flexible electronics has attracted a great deal of attention over the last few years." A lot of people from all around the world have created electronic components out of organic materials for flexible computer displays.” “While they are providing a host of specialty applications, transparent circuitry could make existing displays brighter by increasing the amount of light reaching the viewer's eyes.?” Rogers said. ?“The plan that the researchers used to put the tran...
