All graphene-based thin film transistors on flexible plastic substrates.

Graphene-based flexible and stretchable thin film transistors.

Graphene has been attracting wide attention owing to its superb electronic, thermal and mechanical properties. These properties allow great applications in the next generation of optoelectronics, where flexibility and stretchability are essential. In this context, the recent development of graphene growth/transfer and its applications in field-effect transistors are involved. In particular, we ...

Flexible, transparent single-walled carbon nanotube transistors with graphene electrodes.

This paper reports a mechanically flexible, transparent thin film transistor that uses graphene as a conducting electrode and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as a semiconducting channel. These SWNTs and graphene films were printed on flexible plastic substrates using a printing method. The resulting devices exhibited a mobility of ∼ 2 cm(2) V(-1) s -1), On/Off ratio of ∼ 10(2), transmitt...

Flexible display enabling technology

In a collaboration between Pennsylvania State University and Princeton University, we have been laying the foundations for flexible display technology. Flexible substrates including plastic or steel foil, backplanes of organic or silicon transistors, and directly printed RGB organic light emitting diodes are issues central to this collaboration. We present an overview of key recent results. Sil...
