Abstract
This letter presents the first RF frequency divider on glass to demonstrate the feasibility of system on display (SoD). The frequency divider is developed in 1P2M 3 mum low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor technology. The core cell of the LTPS direct injection-locked frequency divider is the single stage ring oscillator. The additional cross-coupled transistor pair increases the phase shift of the ring oscillator to meet the oscillation condition. The maximum locking range of the LTPS frequency divider is 2 MHz, and it can be operated from 120 Hz to 8 MHz with frequency tuning. Operated at 10 V, the frequency divider consumes 1.8 mW of power. The area of the frequency divider circuitry is 2.13 times 2.6 mm.
