Thin Film Transistors: Flexible Zinc–Tin Oxide Thin Film Transistors Operating at 1 kV for Integrated Switching of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators Arrays (Adv. Mater. 30/2017)

High-voltage flexible thin-film transistors (HVTFTs) that can operate at an unprecedented 1 kV voltage are developed to drive dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), as reported in article number 1700880 by Herbert Shea and co-workers. 16 HVTFTs are integrated with 16 DEAs, each operating at 1 kV, but individually switched using a 30 V gate voltage. Combining flexible HVTFTs with DEAs will lead to compact, complex, and compliant haptics and soft robotics.
