Not exact matches

Although more costly than silicon, the material has become central to wireless communications chips in everything from cellphones to satellites, thanks to its high electron mobility, which lets it work at higher frequencies.

While most LCDs still use amorphous silicon (a-Si), many high - ppi LCDs use low - temperature polysilicon (LTPS), which has considerably higher electron mobility than a-Si, allowing the circuitry to be made much smaller.
