Flexible Flat Panel Displays

Flexible displays are currently one of the most researched topics within the flat panel display community. They promise to change our display-centric world by replacing bulky rigid devices with those that are paper-thin and can be rolled away or folded up when not in use. The field of flexible flat panel displays is truly unique in the sense that it is interdisciplinary to the display community, combining basic principles from nearly all engineering and science disciplines. Organized to bring the reader from the component level, through display system and assembly, to the possible manufacturing routes Flexible Flat Panel Displays outlines the underlying scientific theory required to develop flexible display applications addresses the critical issues relating to the convergence of technologies including substrates, conducting layers, electro-optic materials and thin-film transistors provides guidance on flexible display manufacturing; and presents market information and a chapter dedicated to future market trends of flexible flat panel displays. Flexible Flat Panel Displays is an essential tool for scientists, engineers, designers and business and marketing professionals working at all levels of the display industry. Graduate students entering the field of display technology will also find this book an excellent reference.

1.1 Introduction

The manufacturing of flat panel displays is a dynamic and continuously evolving industry. Improvements of flat panel displays are made rapidly as technology improves and new discoveries are made by display scientists and engineers. The cathode ray tube and active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) recently celebrated their 100th and 25th anniversary, respectively. The arrival of portable electronic devices has put an increasing premium on durable, lightweight and inexpensive display components. In recent years, there has been significant research investment in the development of a flexible display technology. Figure 1.1 shows the evolution away from the bulky CRT display to the thin active matrix LCD for desktop applications, and the much anticipated paper-like flexible flat panel display of the future. To enable a flexible flat panel display, a flexible substrate must be used to replace conventional glass substrates, which can be either plastic or th ... read full excerpt from Flexible Flat Panel Displays ebook
