Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the channel layer material of TFT in industrial production is mainly amorphous silicon ( a -Si) and low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), but a -Si TFT has low mobility (~2 cm 2 / Vs), it is difficult to drive displays larger than 90 inches, and based on polysilicon ( p -Si) technology TFT although high mobility (~100 cm 2 / Vs), but the uniformity of the device is poor, the electrical performance is unstable, and the production cost is high, which limits its application.
At the same time, Si is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap and narrow band gap. It is opaque in the visible light region, and the pixel aperture ratio cannot reach 100%. In order to obtain sufficient brightness, it is necessary to increase the light intensity of the light source, thereby increasing the power.
In addition, the channel layer of Si-based semiconductor material has strong photosensitivity, and a mask plate is required, which also seriously affects the aperture ratio.
These shortcomings restrict the development of Si-based TFTs
[0004] In addition, organic semiconductor thin film transistors (OTFTs) have also been studied more, but the stability of OTFTs is not high, and the mobility is relatively low (~1 cm 2 / Vs), which is a big limitation for its practical application
