The proposed project will build upon recently developed circuitry to compensate the electrical instability of thin-film transistors (TFTs). Disordered semiconductors, such as amorphous silicon, suffer from long-term electrical instability that is exacerbated during mechanical bending. The proposed compensation circuit will be implemented to minimize degradation of flexible electronics under mechanical strain. The project will investigate the scale up of this technology onto large-are flexible platforms. The successful outcome of this proposal will enable new energy-efficient flexible electronics for display applications that will reduce battery consumption of smart phones with longer operation lifetimes and improved image quality. The technology will impact Canada's capacity to innovate in the information and communications technology sector and enable Canadian industries to build knowledge-based manufacturing processes that will be internationally competitive.

拟议的项目将建立在最近开发的电路，以补偿薄膜晶体管（TFT）的电气不稳定性。无序半导体，如非晶硅，遭受长期的电不稳定性，在机械弯曲过程中加剧。所提出的补偿电路将被实施，以尽量减少机械应变下的柔性电子器件的退化。该项目将研究将这项技术扩展到大型灵活平台上。该提案的成功结果将为显示应用提供新的节能柔性电子产品，从而降低智能手机的电池消耗，延长工作寿命并提高图像质量。该技术将影响加拿大在信息和通信技术领域的创新能力， 加拿大工业建立以知识为基础的制造过程，将具有国际竞争力。
