Development of a transparent single-grid-type MSGC based on LCD technology

We are developing a multi-grid-type MSGC based on the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, which enables a large area and fine structure. Single-grid-type MSGC using transparent electrodes has been fabricated and successfully operated in several different gas mixtures. The use of LCD technology allows us to integrate some simple electronics using thin film transistors. Such an integrated device is our next target. The successful operation of Single-grid-type MSGC is the very important first step for us.
