Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has introduced a series of flexible display technologies, including active matrix (AM) OLED displays, roll-to-roll cholesterol liquid crystal displays and electrowetting displays.
John Chen, general director of display technology center (DTC) at ITRI, pointed out that flexible display technology combines the advantages of large-size, light weight, roll-to-roll manufacturing, low cost, and energy saving.
ITRI’s 4.1-inch AMOLED panels are produced on plastic substrates. The panel can display images even when it is curved. Although the trial product is only monochrome, panel makers can adopt ITRI’s technology with multi-color materials to mass produce flexible OLED and roll-to-roll panels, said Chen.
ITRI’s cholesterol liquid crystal display technology came from Kodak, Chen noted, and the roll-to-roll process has reached 6.9-inch, surpassing the record of 3.5-inch.
