Beschreibung
Transparent electronics is an emerging technology that employs wide band-gap semiconductors for the realization of invisible circuits. This monograph provides the first roadmap for transparent electronics, identifying where the field is, where it is going, and what needs to happen to move it forward. Although the central focus of this monograph involves transparent electronics, many of the materials, devices, circuits, and process-integration strategies discussed herein will be of great interest to researchers working in other emerging fields of optoelectronics and electronics involving printing, large areas, low cost, flexibility, wearability, and fashion and design.
A contemporary book devoted to the topic of transparent electronics would likely employ one of two formats – a monograph or an edited, mul- contributor compilation. Trade offs are inherent in the adoption of either of these options. A monograph is better suited to the pursuit of a unifying theme or vision, but only from a single perspective. An edited, mul- contributor compilation is typically more comprehensive and, by defi- tion, multi-perspective, but may suffer from a lack of coherence, especially when pursuing a topic as embryonic as transparent electronics. Future books on transparent electronics will likely be written utilizing both f- mats. This book is a monograph. Its defining theme is that transparent el- tronics development should be application-driven and, therefore, needs to be undertaken concurrently at the materials, process, device, circuit, and system levels. In support of this theme, background and overview inf- mation is provided in Chapters 1-2; applications are considered in Chapter 3; materials, devices, and circuits are explored in Chapters 4-6; and a p- liminary roadmap for continued development is offered in Chapter 7. As we go to press with this monograph, two final thoughts occur.
First monograph on transparent electronics A technological perspective rather than a scientific focus Also of interest to researchers in printed electronics, large-area electronics, low-cost electronics and disposable electronics
