ABSTRACTAmorphous silicon (a-Si) Thin Film Transistors (TFT) will continue to play an important role in large-area liquid crystal displays (LCD), however, there is also a strong demand for ultra-high performance TFTs aimed at intelligent small (or medium) size displays. For this reason, “Crystal Si on glass” has become an increasingly attractive solution. This paper reviews recent work performed at ALTEDEC (Advanced LCD Technologies Development Center Co., Ltd, with regard to growing an array of large Si grains at low temperature. The results obtained so far indicate that satisfactory progress has been made towards the achievement of this goal.

In this paper, a new pixel structure using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon and oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) for low-power liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is proposed. The extremely low off-state current of oxide semiconductor TFTs enables the proposed circuit to operate at a very low frame frequency of 1/60 Hz, so that the power consumption can be significantly reduced. In addition, the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon TFTs with high reliability directly drive pixels, which can achieve stable and flicker-free LCDs. The proposed circuit is fabricated using the LTPO TFT backplane and successfully verified by simulation and measurement results. The measurement results prove that the proposed circuit operates well without further programming for 60 s, and the power consumption in the panel (except backlight power) can be reduced to 0.02% of that of conventional LCD.
