INRODUCTION
Researchers at Oregon State University have reported their first example of an entirely new class of materials which could be used to make transparent transistors that are inexpensive, stable, and eco-friendly. This could lead to new industries and a broad range of new consumer products, The possibilities include electronic devices produced so cheaply they could almost be one-time "throw away" products, better large-area electronics such as flat panel screens, or flexible electronics that could be folded up for ease of transport. Findings about this new class of "thin-film" materials are called amorphous heavy-metal cation multicomponent oxides.

What is transparent electronics?
Invisible Electronics In transparent electronics , the usual
opaque semiconductor materials forming the basis for electronic device fabrication is replaced with transparent materials.
Transparent electronics is an emerging technology that employs wide band-gap semiconductors for the realization of invisible circuits

There are two technologies which preceded
and underlie transparent electronics:
1.Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCOs)
2.Thin Film Transistors (TFTs)

Transparent Conducting Oxides TCOs)
TCOs constitute an unusual class of
materials possessing two physical properties
(generally considered mutually exclusive):
1. High optical transparency. ( E.g.>3.1eV)
2. High electrical conductivity.

Transparent Thin Film Transistors
Constitutes the heart of transparent electronics
Channel is formed from highly insulating, wide band gap transparent semiconductor(ZnO).
Source, drain and gate contacts are made from highly conductive TCO (ITO).
Two possible configurations are:a) Bottom gateb) Top gate

Advances made in Transparent Electronics
Significant advances in the emerging science of transparent electronics, creating transparent "p-type" semiconductors that have more than 200 times the conductivity of the best materials available for that purpose a few years ago. This basic research is opening the door to new types of electronic circuits that, when deposited onto glass, are literally invisible. These "p-type" materials will be necessary for the diodes and transistors that are essential to more complex electronic devices. Only a few laboratories in the world are working in this area, mostly in Japan, the OSU scientists. As recently as 1997, the best transparent p-type transparent conductive materials could only conduct one Siemen/cm, which is a measure of electrical conductivity. The most sophisticated materials recently developed at OSU now conduct 220 Siemen/cm.
