Flexible Displays: Fascinating and Not As Far Off

Photolithography versus lift off process for patterning of sputtered indium tin oxide for flexible displays

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is deposited by RF sputtering on polyethylene terephthalate substrate as transparent electrode for flexible display applications. The produced coatings are patterned in form of digits for seven-segmented indication via conventional photolithography and lift off process. The influence of the exposure dose, etching and stripping solution on the electrophysical properties of...

Thin Film Transistors & Flexible Displays

Technological Advances in Flexible Displays and Substrates

Nowadays, whether it is about watching television, surfing the web or playing video games, screens are part of everyone’s daily life and until now users have been limited to rigid formats of screen that can easily be broken. This physical inflexibility restricts designers and users who have to choose between various screen size function of the media they want to watch or share. The emergence of...

Flexible displays for smart clothing: Part II— Electrochromic displays

Chromic materials have the ability to change their colour reversibly according to external environmental conditions. They are categorised by the stimulus that triggers the colour change. For example, thermochromic materials can be defined as those in which a colour change is induced by a change in temperature and electrochromic materials are those in which a colour change is induced when an ele...

Computer with Multiple Large Flexible Electrophoretic Displays

We present PaperTab, a paper computer with multiple 10.7” functional touch sensitive flexible electrophoretic displays. PaperTab merges the benefits of working with electronic documents with the tangibility of paper documents. In PaperTab, each document window is represented as a physical, functional, flexible e-paper screen called a displaywindow. Each displaywindow is an Android computer that...
