Transparent Transistors

by John Boyd & Samuel K. Moore IEEE Spectrum, March 2005 Two groups, in Japan and the United States, have reported making see-through circuits out of a new class of semiconductors. Besides holding out the possibility of building displays into the windows of cars and trains, the materials’ low cost and lowtemperature fabrication may suit them to future applications that don’t need transparency, notably roll-up electronic displays.
