Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>As shown by Hanna et al. (pp. <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">248–251</ext-link>), by generating a wavy architecture in classical transistor topology, high output current is achieved – opening up bold futuristic opportunity for ultra‐high resolution bright display. Irrespective of the material choice – the unique architecture can provide exciting thin film transistor performance enhancement.Hanna et al. demonstrate the advantage of using the wavy architecture in terms of area efficiency, higher output current, higher field‐effect mobility and similar OFF current levels and <italic>I</italic><sub>on</sub>/<italic>I</italic><sub>off</sub> ratios compared to the planar counterparts for a thin film transistor fabricated with zinc oxide channel material. The low OFF current levels and high <italic>I</italic><sub>on</sub>/<italic>I</italic><sub>off</sub> ratios for the wavy‐channel devices ensure that standby power consumption remains similar to the planar counterparts, while improving the ON current values. This proves the significance of this new architecture for large‐area high‐resolution display applications.</p> <p> <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"> <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sxz8f2h" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </boxed-text> </p> </abstract>
