Development of Plastic Substrate Technology for Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays Final Report CRADA No. TC-761-93
Raychem Corporation (RYC) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) conducted a development program with the goal to make rugged, low-cost, high-resolution flat panel displays based on RYC'S proprietary Nematic Curvilinear Aligned Phase (NCAP) liquid crystal and LLNL's patented processes for the doping of polycrystalline silicon and the fabrication of thin film transistors (TFTs) on low-temperature, flexible, plastic substrates. The program demonstrated that thin-film transistors (TFTs) of adequate performance could be fabricated on low-cost, optical quality plastic substrates using a mix of conventional and laser processing. The maximum processing temperature of 100°C developed by the project is the lowest polysilicon TFT fabrication process reported to date.
