NEW MARKET RESEARCH REPORT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER


Thin film transistor (TFT) devices have enabled the mass production of flat panel displays and an industry that is worth over $100 billion annually. Unlike CMOS transistors which are constrained on silicon wafers, TFT can be manufactured on glass and are suitable for large area electronics.

In the recent years, there has been considerable progress in the commercialization of TFT devices on flexible substrates. In this configuration, the glass is substituted with a polymer film such as polyimide. This has led to the rapid adoption of thin flexible AMOLED displays in smartphones and wearables.

The industry is now committed to increasing production capacity. However, while AMOLED will remain the focus, there are also other emerging applications for flexible TFT. As the industry transitions to this new technology, it becomes critical to identify new opportunities in flexible displays, sensors, RFID, logic, and memory.

This report covers the various applications that are possible with flexible TFT devices. It provides an up-to-date assessment of the various types of semiconductor materials that can be used for flexible electronics and the devices that can be manufactured. The report also considers the possible repurposing of older display fabs for some of these new markets or if alternative manufacturing technologies, such as printed electronics, will be more suitable.

This report is written by established industry experts who have many years of experience as market analysts and technology consultants.

Covered applications and technologies 

Four (4) flexible TFT technologies are reviewed in this report:
  • Silicon technology is mature TFT array technology usually employed as amorphous silicon (a-Si) or low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) used since the 1990's for display applications.
  • Metal oxide TFT technology has entered mass production in recent years for high-performance LCD or OLED displays and other applications and new applications are being actively developed.
  • Organic TFT technology is an emerging technology that is being deployed in various low-cost or flexible device applications.
  • CNT/Graphene is a next-generation TFT with new potential applications.



The report will be divided into the following chapters:
  1. Introduction to TFT technology
  2. TFT technologies by semiconductor type
  3. Flexible backplanes for LCD and e-paper
  4. Large area image sensors
  5. Force sensors and electronic skin devices
  6. RFID applications
  7. Logic and memory
  8. Biosensors
