Abstract

A new low-power inverter using only p-type poly-Si thin-film transistors for the driving circuits of active matrix liquid crystal displays and active matrix organic light-emitting diodes is proposed and fabricated. The proposed pMOS inverter using capacitive coupling and bootstrapping successfully eliminated the troublesome through current and exhibited a wide output swing from V/sub DD/ to V/sub SS/ without additional signals.
