ABSTRACT:
Some
features
of
large
area
electronics
are
briefly
reviewed
from
a
display
perspective.
Three
examples
in
the
areas
of
system,
array,
and
device
design
are
presented
to
demonstrate
the
importance
of
each
in
the
overall
design.
First,
the
prevalent
System-on-Panel
(SoP)
concept
is
challenged
where
the
success
of
Gate-on-Array
(GoA)
designs
does
not
imply
the
necessity
of
integrating
other
circuits
onto
the
display
panel
to
achieve
optimal
system
operation.
Secondly,
pixel
circuit
design
must
necessarily
consider
the
the
whole
array
perspective
because
although
some
single
pixel
circuits
seem
to
be
workable,
they
fail
when
integrated
into
the
large
area
matrix.
Lastly,
a
gap-gate
TFT
sensing
device
made
in
a
process
that
is
fully
compatible
with
a
thin
film
transistor
is
introduced
and
the
issue
of
instability
is
discussed.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ya-Hsiang
Tai
was
born
in
1967.
He
received
his
BS
and
Ph.D
degree
in
Electronic
Engineering
from
National
Chiao
Tung
University,
Taiwan,
in
1990
and
1996
respectively.
His
Ph.
D
dissertation
is
about
the
reliability
of
amorphous
silicon
(a-Si)
thin
film
transistor
(TFT).
He
was
elected
to
be
an
honorary
member
of
Phi-Tau-Phi
Scholastic
Honor
Society
twice
in
1990
and
1996.
He
became
a
member
of
Industrial
Technology
Research
Institute
/
Electronics
Research
&
Service
Organization
and
participated
the
TFT
LCD
development
as
a
panel
designer
and
leaved
as
a
section
manager.
During
this
period,
his
working
included
the
installation
of
TFT
array
tester,
the
reverse
engineering
of
more
than
10
TFT
LCD
products,
the
ESD
test
on
the
TFT
devices,
the
panel
design
of
an
in-plane-switch
(IPS)
wide-view-angle
TFT
LCD,
the
software
development
of
instrument
control,
probe
station
control,
device
parameter
extraction
and
statistical
database
for
a
fully-automatic
device
characterization
system
with
large
area
substrate.
He
joined
the
project
of
LTPS
TFT
development
in
Prime
View
International
in
2000
for
a
period,
and
then
in
2001,
he
entered
Toppoly
Optoelectronics
Corp.
(currently
merged
to
Innolux
Corp.)
to
lead
the
team
of
LTPS
TFT
LCD
panel
design
and
established
the
design
flow
and
procedures.
His
team
designed
various
LTPS
TFT
LCD
panels
for
the
applications
in
digital
camera,
cellular
phone,
personal
digital
assistant,
car
navigation,
and
notebook
PC.
He
also
acted
as
the
project
leader
of
product
development
for
several
products.
He
joined
the
faculty
of
National
Chiao
Tung
University
(NCTU)
in
2003,
where
he
is
currently
an
associate
professor
in
the
Display
Institute
&
Department
of
Photonics.
He
wrote
a
book
entitled
“Design
and
Operation
of
TFT-LCD
Panel”
in
Chinese
in
2006.
His
current
research
research
interest
is
about
the
technologies
for
the
active
matrix
display
and
sensors.
The
research
topics
focus
on
the
device
characteristics
of
thin
film
transistors
(TFTs),
as
well
as
how
such
devices
applied
in
the
display
and
sensing
circuits.
