A novel technology that makes it possible to transfer thin film devices from an original substrate to another by using laser ablation/annealing has been investigated. Low‐temperature poly‐Si TFTs firstly fabricated on quartz or glass substrates can be transferred onto plastic substrates without any degradation. By using this technique, a trial TFT‐LCD device was successfully transferred onto a plastic substrate and the operation of its driver circuits was confirmed.
