Field of applications:
TFT LCD applications for TV projection systems.
Virtual reality glasses or military applications.
CCD detectors.
Main advantages compared to polycrystalline silicon on quartz:
For TFT LCD projection single-valve systems or small FPDs
Low leakage current for the TFT.
5 X higher mobility.
Low threshold voltage - low voltage displays.
High resolution due to smaller TFT - high brightness.
Integration of CMOS drivers on the quartz wafer is easier - that means a drastic reduction of connectors on the small displays.
For CCD detectors
Better blue detection due to back side illumination through the quartz wafer.
