Summary: This paper reports a mechanically flexible, transparent thin film transistor that uses graphene as a conducting electrode and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as a semiconducting channel. These SWNTs and graphene films were printed on flexible plastic substrates using a printing method. The resulting devices exhibited a mobility of ~ 2 cm2 V -1 s -1, On/Off ratio of ~ 102, transmittance of ~ 81% and excellent mechanical bendability.
