  • Abstract
    Useful building blocks such as the analogue subtractor, adder, and current source, with amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) are presented. The circuits built with only n-channel devices tackle the problem of threshold voltage instability in the TFT to provide stable transfer characteristics.
