44.3: Flexible Electrophoretic Displays with Jet‐Printed Backplanes

Flexible electrophoretic displays are demonstrated using all-additive solution-processed active-matrix backplanes. The conducting traces and the organic semiconductor for the pixel circuit were deposited by inkjet printing. Printed backplanes with smaller pixel size are desirable and the consequences of increasing the display resolution from 37 ppi to 74 ppi are discussed. Novel fabrication approaches for printed multi-layer pixel designs are presented.
