Flexible display enabling technology

In a collaboration between Pennsylvania State University and Princeton University, we have been laying the foundations for flexible display technology. Flexible substrates including plastic or steel foil, backplanes of organic or silicon transistors, and directly printed RGB organic light emitting diodes are issues central to this collaboration. We present an overview of key recent results. Sil...

Self-powered electrochromic display as an example for integrated modules in printed electronics applications

The growing market for flexible electronics devices is asking for reduction of manufacturing process complexity. One way to reduce complexity is to decrease the number of single components of a device by using integrated modules, i.e. device components providing multiple functions. In this article, the concept of a self-powered electrochromic graphics display device is demonstrated. The device ...
