Abstract

All-solution-processed transparent thin film transistors (TTFTs) are demonstrated with silver grid source/drain electrodes, which are fabricated by printing and subsequent silver nanoparticles solution coating, which allows continuous processing without using high vacuum systems. The silver grid electrode shows a reasonable transmittance in visible range, moderate electrical conductance and mechanical strength. The TTFTs are employed to drive liquid crystal cells and demonstrate a successful switching operation.
