Abstract :
The authors introduce a microprocessor made by organic thin film transistors processed directly onto flexible plastic foil. This is a direct realization of a microprocessor by thin film technology, i.e., without transfer, on plastic. The correct execution of a digital signal processing task, namely increasing the accuracy of a repetitive digital input by time-averaging was also demonstrated.
