Light- and space-adaptable display

초록

Presented is a flexible dual-mode display operable in reflective and emissive mode according to ambient light for optimal visibility on a nonplanar surface. Flexible-backplane-embedding organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thin-film transistors (TFTs), and control electrodes for liquid crystal (LC) shutter are realized by the laser lift-off (LLO) method and the newly developed polyimide (PI) delamination technique. A novel color-filterless LC shutter with color dyes is merged with this flexible backplane for operation in reflective mode. This work opens up a promising approach to building displays that are adaptive to the surrounding environment for better usability.
