Abstract: An improved transistor array for a display or sensor device is described. The display or sensor device includes a plurality of pixels. Each pixel includes a width and a length. Each pixel is addressed by a transistor. The transistor addressing each pixel has a channel with a channel width. Each channel width is greater than the width or length of the pixel being addressed. By fabricating transistors with extremely long channel widths, lower mobility semiconductor materials can easily be used to fabricate the display device.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method of fabricating the electronic device includes forming a first electrical contact, a dielectric layer and a second electrical contact wherein the dielectric layer is located between the first and the second electrical contacts, forming an electrically insulating layer over the dielectric layer and the first electrical contact, exposing the first and second electrical contact, the dielectric layer and a first portion of the electrically insulating layer to radiation from the side of the first electrical contact, removing a second portion of the electrically insulating layer that was not irradiated by the radiation, providing a semiconductor material over a portion of the dielectric layer, and forming at least a third electrical contact over at least a portion of the electrically insulting layer and the semiconductor material.

Abstract: Various traveling wave grids and electrophoretic systems, and electrode assemblies using such grids, are disclosed. A configuration in which a voltage potential is used to load a biomolecule sample against a grid is disclosed. A unique strategy of using multiple, reconfigurable grids in such systems is also described. The strategy involves initially conducting a broad protein separation and then selectively tailoring one or more grids, and conducting one or more secondary processing operations. Related strategies and specific methods are additionally disclosed for separating samples of biomolecules and components thereof using the noted systems, assemblies, and grids.
