Abstract

This work demonstrates flexible and textile electronic concepts bridged to create innovative and free form factor textile electronic systems. In particular, it focuses on oxide thin-film transistor development on fiber-like polymeric substrates to assure compatibility with weaving processes and interconnectivity with other fiber-based electronic components. By process tuning and device engineering, similar performance to oxide TFTs on glass was achieved, even under a low thermal budget (sub-200 °C). Integration capability is demonstrated through a rollable 46” smart textile lighting system, able to display variable information provided by an external stimuli detection through fiber-based devices.
