The use of an alternating current (ac) source to power logic circuitry can
support satisfactory device performance for a variety of applications,
while enhancing long-term stability of the circuitry. For example, when
organic thin film transistor (OTFT)-based logic circuitry is powered by
an ac power source, the logic circuitry exhibits stable performance
characteristics over an extended period of operation. Enhanced stability
may permit the use of OTFT logic circuitry to form a variety of circuit
devices, including inverters, oscillators, logic gates, registers and the
like. Such circuit devices may find application in a variety of
applications, including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, flat
panel displays, smart cards, cell phones, and RFID tags. In some
applications, the ac-powered logic circuitry may eliminate the need for
ac-dc rectification components, thereby reducing the manufacturing time,
expense, cost, complexity, and size of the component carrying the
circuitry.
