Claims
- 1. A flat panel display comprising
a plurality of display pixels, a matrix of thin film transistors for driving said pixels, each thin film transistor including a gate, source, drain and channel electrode characterized in that said channel electrode comprises cadmium selenide.
- 2. A flat panel display as in claim 1 in which the matrix of display pixels is arranged in columns and rows and in which the column and row transistors are driven by column and row drive thin film transistor circuits carried by the substrate in which the thin film transistors include cadmium selenide as the active semiconductor.
- 3. A flat panel display as in claim 2 in which said thin film transistors are field effect transistors having cadmium selenide channels.
- 4. A flat panel display as in claims 1, 2 or 3 in which the display pixel is a liquid crystal display driven by a single transistor.
- 5. A flat panel display comprising a matrix of rows and columns of light-emitting diodes formed on a substrate,
a thin film transistor circuit associated with each light-emitting diode comprising a first thin film field effect transistor having its source, channel and drain electrodes in series with said light-emitting diodes between a voltage source and a common electrode, a second thin film field effect transistor having its source, channel and drain electrodes with the drain connected to the gate electrode of the first field effect transistor and the source electrode adapted to be connected to a column control voltage and a gate electrode adapted to be connected to a line control voltage, said first and second transistors having cadmium selenide channels, and a capacitor connected between the drain electrodes of said first and second thin film transistors.
- 6. A flat panel display as in claim 5 including row and column drive circuits carried by the substrate, said drive circuits including thin film transistors which have cadmium selenide as the active semiconductor.
- 7. A flat panel display as in claim 6 in which said thin film transistors are field effect transistors with cadmium selenide channels.
- 8. A flat panel display comprising
a matrix of light-emitting diodes, a matrix of thin film field-effect transistor circuits for driving said light-emitting diodes characterized in that said field effect transistors have cadmium selenide channels.
