Flexible electrophoretic displays with jet-printed active-matrix backplanes

• 2005 SID International Symposium

We report on the integration of electrophoretic media with flexible backplanes. The active-matrix backplanes are based on amorphous-silicon or on organic-semiconductor technology. Conventional photolithography was fully replaced by jet-printing. Flexible electrophoretic media is fabricated by photolithography and by molding of micro-cell structures. Various aspects will be addressed, concerning the media, the backplanes and the integration.
