What are flexible displays?
Over the past twenty years, engineers have been monitoring flexible display technology. Scientists are working to combine polymer and metal foil substrates along with a TFT (TFT) with a thin film that will make a flexible display of a commercial reality. The aim is to create a thin, flexible and clear substrate with barrier properties of glass.
The flexible display will offer many advantages over the display technologies we have at the moment. Factors such as a reduction in thickness and weight, improved durability and non -linear form are all positive aspects of the flexible display. Potential use is so diverse that printing, electronic and plastic companies invest in research to achieve the product. This technology can benefit from mobile phones, MP3 players, personal digital assistants, computers and electronic books. Oneflexible displays arrived, a brand new product that could not be made earlier would be available. Imagine options - TVore, which are so thin and flexible, can be with them curled and accepted anywhere; The repeatedly applicable electronic newspaper that can download the latest messages is then rolled up and used the next day; Electronic wallpaper that can display images such as images or world views. Options for future use of flexible displays are endless.
The first products that are likely to use flexible displays are electronic books, paper and marking. Currently, liquid crystal technology is a leader against a flexible display for products such as electronic books. However, there are some compromises. The compromise factors include brightness and definition compared to battery life. Technologist Liquid-Krystaluy has low energy consumption, making it a strong applicant for a flexible display.
Some scientists focus on organic technologyKé liquids such as organic light emitting diode (OLED) for the future of full -color flexible displays. OLEDs are alone and do not require backlight, diffusers or polarizers. This reduces size and weight. It also offers a wider point of view and lower energy consumption. OLED is not as clear as some other displays, but research is underway to improve it.
As with all new technologies, the price is expected to be high when flexible displays are finally appeared. However, once the technology is introduced and mass production begins, the price will fall. It should not be too long before everything we see will be through clear, without scratches, flexible displays.
