Abstract— A 100‐μm thin QVGA display was made by combining a 25‐μm thin organic transistor active‐matrix backplane with an electrophoretic display film. High contrast and low crosstalk was achieved by the addition of a field shield to the backplane. The display can be bent repeatedly to a radius of 2 mm without any performance loss. Extended mechanical tests at a radius of curvature of 7.5 mm show that the display can be rolled at least 30,000 times without noticeable degradation.

A 100µm thin QVGA active-matrix electrophoretic display is produced using organic transistors. The display can be bent to a radius less than 1 cm without any performance loss. Higher contrast and low crosstalk was achieved by addition of a field shield to our backplane.
