Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index A thin film transistor is made by depositing thin films for the metallic contacts, semiconductor active layer, and dielectric layer. TFT is the abbreviation for Thin film transistor. It concerns thereby a kind of the LCD Flachbildschirme. LCDs are liquid crystal display devices. TFTs are the better, in addition, teuerere variant of this technology, since with them each pixel is headed for individually. This happens by means of to four transistors. In this kind one is to be realized in a the position highest resolutions. Due to its design one calls TFTs often also Active matrix LCDs.
