7.4: A Flexible Plastic SVGA e‐Paper Display

Abstract

Abstract We have developed a scalable manufacturing process for active matrix displays compatible with low temperature plastic substrates and have applied this technology to the fabrication of flexible SVGA display backplanes. We combined these backplanes with E Ink® Imaging Film to produce 100 PPI SVGA (800×600 pixel) displays exhibiting grey scale and with a high aperture ratio. Power consumption is zero in between image changes. Flexible high information content e‐paper displays will change the way in which information is conveyed by enabling lightweight, robust e‐reader devices.
