Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03046964A1] A thin film transistor array fabricated on a polyimide substrate forms a backplane for an electronic display. The thin film transistor array incorporate gate electrodes, a gate insulating layer 44, semiconducting channel layers 50 deposited on top of the gate insulating layer 44, a source electrode 60, a drain electrode 60 and a contact layer 52 beneath each of the source and drain electrodes 60 and in contact with at least the channel layer 50. An insulating encapsulation layer 70 is positioned on the channel layer 50. The layers are deposited onto the polyimide substrate 32 using PECVD and etched using photolithography to form the backplane.
