A Monolithically Integrated Flexible Display of Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal Driven by Rubber Stamped Organic Thin-Film Transistors
04 June 2001
This letter describes the successful monolithic integration of rubber stamped thin-film organic transistors with polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) to create a multi-pixel, flexible display with plastic substrates. We report the electro-optic switching behavior of the PDLC as driven by the organic transistors and we show that our displays operate robustly under flexing, and have a contrast comparable to that of newsprint.
