Organic LCDs: The Journey To Mass Production And Integration Into Products (Printed Electronics Europe 2019)

LCD remains by far the dominant display technology by volume and market size, but with the advent of flexible displays, new challenges arise that determine which display technology is best suited for end-user applications. FlexEnable has developed a scalable flexible organic LCD technology on plastic that combines the attributes of low cost, reliable LCD technology with the addition of being flexible, light-weight and robust. With scalable manufacturing processes similar to amorphous silicon, display manufacturers can repurpose their underutilized fabs to make flexible OLCDs in large and small sizes.

 

This talk will focus on the key attributes of flexible OLCDs, how FlexEnable is bringing them to mass manufacture and the market applications that will be able to adopt flexible displays for the first time.

Dr Rouzet Agaiby has over ten years' experience in a variety of technologies including semiconductor manufacturing, solar cells and flexible electronics with special focus on flexible sensors and displays. Rouzet is responsible for growing the implementation of FlexEnable's flexible electronics technology in flexible sensors as well as in flexible LCD for consumer electronics and industrial applications. She also sets up and manages key strategic developments in sensors and display applications with major market players to bring products to market that have added value both for OEMs and for the end user. Rouzet has a PhD in semiconductor technology from University of Newcastle and an MBA from Manchester Alliance Business School.

FlexEnable has developed the world's first flexible electronics technology platform that allows electronics made of organic materials to be manufactured on flexible plastic film, the thickness of a sheet of paper. Compatible with existing display manufacturing lines, it is the key to truly flexible and cost effective electronics over large and small surfaces. The core applications of this technology are glass-free, flexible displays and sensors that enable game-changing products across a variety of industries including consumer electronics, automotive, digital signage, wearables, medical and security. www.flexenable.com
