Abstract

High-performance active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display is driven by a matrix of thin film transistors (TFTs) as a back plane technology. Nowadays, the majority of large area AMOLED display uses a-Si:H TFT and Poly-Si TFT to control the driving current in each and every pixels of AMOLED display. AMATLAB-based simulator for a-Si:H and poly-Si based thin film transistor (TFT)is proposed to address the pixel of AMOLED display. The purpose to design the simulator is to provide a ready reference of the output parameters of conventional (mentioned above) TFTs for the optimization of fabrication processes. This simulator is able to explain transfer characteristics, output characteristics and field effect mobility for both the TFTs.
