On the Road to Printed Electronics: Performance and Lifetime of Semiconducting Polymers in Thin Film Transistors for Active Matrix Backplanes

Michael L. Chabinyc is a Senior Member of Research Staff at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). He received his B.S. in chemistry from the University of Dayton in Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University. He was a National Institute of Health post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

 

At PARC, he is studying the fundamental properties of organic transistors and working on the development printed active-matrix thin-film transistor backplanes for flexible displays. He has published more than 40 journal articles in the areas of gas-phase ionic chemistry, microfluidics, molecular electronics, and organic electronics. Dr. Chabinyc is an inventor on over a dozen patents in the areas of organic electronics and bioanalytical devices.

A premier center for commercial innovation, PARC, a Xerox company, is in the business of breakthroughs. We work closely with global enterprises, entrepreneurs, government agencies and partners, and other clients to invent, co-develop, and bring to market game-changing innovations by combining imagination, investigation, and return on investment for our clients. For 40 years, we have lived at the leading edge of innovation, merging inquiry and strategy to pioneer technological change. PARC was incorporated in 2002 as a wholly owned independent subsidiary of Xerox Corporation - enabling us to continue pioneering technological change but across a broader set of industries and clients today.
