Great Flexible Display


Have you imagine yourself unrolling a screen and put it to a table, with your wireless keyboard, you start typing, and get on- line? Are you tired of replacing your credit cards every time it breaks? Do you have cracked glass displays on your cell phones? Is it time to replace your bulky computer monitors? Is it time to replace your rigid screens?

Are you ready for the generations of bendable television, computer and cellphone screens? The technology of flexible display is now on the horizon!

The advantage of flexible display over the current display is that it is lighter and more durable. Its life span is longer. The current display is rigid and fragile. I think all of us are worried for our smart card to have a crack. And we are also worried that our cell phone display may break.

Flexible display technology is applicable to smart cards, transportation cards, medical cards, and screens for television, computer, mobile phones, game consoles, and PDAs. Other applications include watches, 3D glasses, and even in the field of military.

One of the challenges of this technology was the image quality once the screen or display has been flexed. However, researchers are just gifted of such knowledge to answer problems like this. They have this amazing technology, which can create an image quality on flexible substrates.

The technology could be manufactured using a low-cost, high-efficiency mass production method however we just don’t know how much the screen would cost. Sometimes knowledge is expensive.
