ACTIVE MATRIX ARRAY DEVICES HAVING FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATES

摘要

An active matrix array device has an array of device elements in rows and columns. Each row conductor (10) comprises an elongate row line (10a) and a plurality of extensions (10b) extending from the row line, each extension (10b) having a portion defining the gate conductor (11) of a thin film transistor of a respective device element. The device is adapted to be deformable at least about an axis parallel with the row lines (10a), and the portion of each gate extension extends in a direction which is non-perpendicular to the row line direction. This non - perpendicular direction reduces the variation in TFT characteristics resulting from deformation of the device.
