Abstract

This book illustrates innovative contributions to the design of electronic circuits for large-area and low-cost applications. This sort of applications is enabled by a cheap, low temperature processes to manufacture electronics on flexible substrates. Unfortunately this kind of processes only offers TFTs with electrical performance far below the silicon standards, and enables only poor uniformity and reliability. For these reasons, state of the art circuit designs based on these technologies are still at their infancy and only first steps have been moved towards of the implementation of complex analog functions, the accurate conversion of analog signals to the digital domain, and the creation of large digital circuits with satisfactory yield.
