What are Flexible Displays?

A flexible display is a deformable and bendable display device made of a soft material. As thin as paper, the content will not disappear even if the power is cut off. It is also called "electronic paper".

Arizona State University's Flexible Display Center (FDC) Announces a Breakthrough Flexible Display Technology

The flexible display uses PHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology. This technology is characterized by low power consumption, small size, and direct visual flexibility.

For portable use

The development was achieved through a collaborative effort between the Flexible Display Center (FDC) and its partners E Ink and DuPont Teijin Films. FDC is a government-university-academic partnership center whose mission is to promote the development and commercialization of full-color flexible electronic display technology. Via U.S. Army and U.S.

There is no doubt that flexible screens are very suitable for gaming devices, but because users need two-handed control, this screen does not seem suitable for mobile phones. Of course, Nokia Kinetic is just a concept, but Kinetic provides a reference for flexible screen product design. ^[2]

In 2013, Samsung launched the flexible OLED screen YOUM. Samsung claims that the YOUM screen uses a standard OLED design, but film films replace glass substrates. ^[2]

LG is also mass producing flexible screens, but its e-ink screens are only for e-readers. The e-ink screen has a diagonal length of 6 inches and a resolution of 1024 × 768. Like Samsung's screen, LG's e-ink screen also uses film film design. ^[2]

Atmel, which provides touch sensors for tablets and mobile phones, has also developed technologies for flexible screens. Atmel has introduced a new touch sensor called Xsense. Atmel said that Xsense can provide touch technology for flexible screens, which can maintain perfect and accurate touch performance and clarity even if the screen is bent at various degrees. Xsense touch sensors are now available and related products are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2013. ^[2]

In 2013, a research team at Nagoya University in Japan used flexo printing technology to trial-produce carbon nanotube (CNT) TFTs for flexible displays and other applications, and achieved a mobility of up to 112 cm2 / Vs. Focusing on high throughput, low cost, and adaptability to roll-to-roll methods, the team trial-produced CNT-TFT using flexographic printing technology. The entire process is performed under normal temperature and pressure conditions, and silver nanoparticles are used for the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode. ^[4]
