Abstract
Methods for producing and integrating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) into existing TFT backplane manufacturing lines are provided. In contrast to LTPS and oxide TFT backplanes, SWCNT TFT backplanes exhibit either equivalent or better figures of merit such as high field emission mobility, low temperature fabrication, good stability, uniformity, scalability, flexibility, transparency, mechanical deformability, low voltage and low power, bendability and low cost. Methods and processes for integrating SWCNTs technologies into existing TFT backplane manufacturing lines, pilot test and mass production can start without additional capex needs are also provided.
