Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing of Displays on Plastic Substrates using SAIL (Self-Aligned Imprint Lithography); Recent Developments

Carl is the leader of a research team at HP Labs that is developing next generation display technologies. The common thread in HP's display research is a belief that in the future displays will be manufactured on plastic substrates using roll-to-roll manufacturing. HP is investigating color reflective and emissive frontplane technologies as well as semiconductor and circuit technologies for active matrix backplanes and driver circuits. HP has demonstrated the world's first fully roll-to-roll manufactured active matrix eInk displays on our 1/3 meter wide pilot manufacturing line.

 

Over his 20 years at HP, Carl has worked mostly on storage technologies including hard disc, helical scan tape, probe storage, and optical disc. Carl led the HP team that developed the technology which enables ROM compatible rewritable DVDs. This technology is the basis for the DVD+RW format.

 

Carl received a B.S. degree from Stanford University and a Masters and Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology all in mechanical engineering.
