Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising a thin film transistor structure which comprises a patterned electrically-conductive layer associated with an active element of the thin film transistor structure to thereby increase an electric current through the thin film transistor, wherein: said thin film transistor has a channel made of at least one of the following: semiconductor material, a polymer material, a poly silicon, an amorphous silicon, or metal oxide; said thin film transistor structure has source, drain and gate electrode structures arranged in different layers; said patterned electrically-conductive layer is part of either one of the source and drain electrode structures, the pattern being in the form of spaced-apart perforations located between continuous electrically conductive regions thereby forming discontinuity of electrical conductivity along said electrode; the source electrode material is selected to operate as a barrier to charge injection into the channel.
