We have developed an ultra-flexible organic TFT with bending radius down to 2 mm fabricated with completely scalable process which is almost compatible conventional FPD process and applied to active-matrix electrophoretic displays. We will also discuss challenge to incorporate high-resolution printing process for future manufacturing process.
