Abstract

A novel laser-printing method for the manufacturing of the backplane circuits of active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCD) is proposed and demonstrated. Xerographic toner is used as an etch mask for amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and for the seeding of metal lines. We also demonstrate for the first time the direct-print patterning of silicon on ∼ 50 μm thick glass foil.
