Active matrix display device

Abstract

A display panel is formed using essentially single crystal thin-film material that is transferred to substrates for display fabrication. The transfer includes the step of transferring the semiconductor regions onto a stretchable substrate. The resulting circuit panel can be incorporated into a display panel with a light emitting or liquid crystal material to provide the desired display.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An active matrix display device, comprising: 
 a substrate;    an active matrix circuit secured to the substrate, the active matrix circuit comprising an array of transistors formed from a thin-film of single crystal semiconductor material, and an array of electrodes, each electrode electrically connected to a transistor; and    a light transmitting material positioned over each electrode such that actuation of a transistor in the array alters an optical transmission property of the light transmitting material over the electrode connected to the actuated transistor.
