We have newly developed a 4.0-in. quarter video graphics array (QVGA) active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display integrated with gate and source driver circuits using amorphous In–Ga–Zn-oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Focusing on a passivation layer in an inverted staggered bottom gate structure, the threshold voltage of the TFTs can be controlled to have “normally-off” characteristics with suppressed variation by using a SiO
x
layer formed by sputtering with a low hydrogen content. In addition, small subthreshold swing S/S of 0.19 V/decade, high field-effect mobility µFE of 11.5 cm2 V-1 s-1, and threshold voltage V
th of 1.27 V are achieved. The deposition conditions of the passivation layer and other processes are optimized, and variation in TFT characteristics is suppressed, whereby high-speed operation in gate and source driver circuits can be achieved. Using these driver circuits, the 4.0-in. QVGA AMOLED display integrated with driver circuits can be realized.
We designed, prototyped, and evaluated LCD integrated with a gate driver and a source driver using amorphous In-Ga-Zn-Oxide TFTs having bottom-gate bottom-contact structure, thereby obtaining TFTs with superior characteristics.Then, we prototyped the world's first 4-inch QVGA LCD and integrated the gate driver and source driver on the display panel.
We report a 65 MHz-bandwidth triangular-shaped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) for squeezed vacuum generation at 860 nm. The triangle structure of our OPO enables the round-trip length to reach 45 mm as a ring cavity, which provides a counter circulating optical path available for introducing a probe beam or generating another squeezed vacuum. Hence our OPO is suitable for the applications in high-speed quantum information processing where two or more squeezed vacua form a complicated interferometer, like continuous-variable quantum teleportation. With a homemade, broadband and low-loss homodyne detector, a direct measurement shows 8.4 dB of squeezing at 3 MHz and also 2.4 dB of squeezing at 100 MHz.
