Highly Bendable, Transparent Thin‐Film Transistors That Use Carbon‐Nanotube‐Based Conductors and Semiconductors with Elastomeric Dielectrics

Transparent flexible thin-film transistors (see Figure) have been made using single-walled carbon nanotube networks of high and moderate coverages as the conducting and semiconducting layers. Electrical (e. g. , good performance on plastic), optical (e. g. transparency to visible wavelengths), and mechanical (e. g. extreme flexibility) characteristics that would be difficult, or impossible, to achieve with conventional materials are reported.
