Abstract

The development of transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) leads to the possibility of invisible circuits and electronic systems.  If TTFTs can be fabricated on bendable, see-through substrates, the realization of flexible transparent electronics is a possibility.  However, accomplishing this commercially will be challenging.  The purpose of this presentation is to first provide an introductory overview of transparent electronics, and to then assess challenges and opportunities for its advance and merger with flexible electronics.
